Material Detail

'Technology is changing our world in ways unimaginable even a decade ago. Mobile technology in particular has begun to permeate our daily lives, providing unparalleled access to information. It is also raising the quality of education and improving access to it. Early initiatives in mobile education, or “mEducation,” are already enhancing learning outcomes worldwide. With growing availability and demand, mEducation is poised to become a USD 70 billion market by 2020. Mobile operators can seize this exciting opportunity and shape the market if they understand how new technologies and initiatives will impact education around the world—and if they can develop smart strategies and implement them quickly.'

'Our research shows that mEducation offers three advantages with the potential to improve education delivery and thereby enhance learning outcomes:  

• It simplifies access to content and experts, overcoming traditional constraints of time, location and collaboration
• It personalizes education solutions for individual learners, helping educators customize the teaching process, using software and interactive media that adapt levels of difficulty to individual students’  understanding and pace
• It addresses specific challenges that lower the efficiency of educational systems worldwide. Case in point: MIT’s Education Collaboration Services gives teachers access to best practices.'
