Thesis - Mobile Learning for Africa

Master thesis on Mobile Learning for Africa by Jenni Parker, presented at Politecnico di Milano, Italy in July 2011. As mobile phones are now ubiquitous even among the world’s poorest, this master thesis explores how they have become a platform for a host of applications that offer new social and economic benefits to users. In particular this thesis focuses on the impact of Mobile Learning, and documents the development of a Mobile Learning Toolkit in collaboration with the ITC-ILO (United Nations) that can be used to deliver interactive learning experiences right to the Base of the Pyramid.
