Material Detail

'Increasing Access through Mobile Learning is a timely book for mobile education, especially for developing countries where the use of mobile technology is increasing at a phenomenal rate. In some developing countries, large numbers of learners are moving directly to mobile devices, bypassing the personal computer stage. As a result, there is tremendous need for learning materials that can be accessed using mobile devices, as a means of opening up opportunities for lifelong learning and professional development.

The book provides valuable insights on how to develop and implement successful mobile learning. Each chapter has been written by one or more experts in mobile learning from around the world. Part I describes considerations for, and approaches to, designing mobile learning materials. It is important for developers of mobile learning materials to follow standards so that the learning materials can be shared as open educational resources (OER). Delivered on mobile technology, OER have the potential to enable citizens all over the world to access affordable education from anywhere and at any time. Part II of the book discusses how mobile learning can be successfully implemented to maximise access to educational resources with minimum resources, and to maintain flexibility in the delivery process. Part III provides examples of how mobile learning can be used in a variety of settings, including schools, higher education institutions, the workplace and the field, and a variety of contexts, from formal programmes to just-in-time learning.'
