Mobile Learning infoKit
JISC infoNet
As you shall see through exploring this infoKit, mobile learning is more than the sum of its parts. It is, to a great extent, a ‘trojan horse’ and a vehicle for exploring the changing nature of learning in a connected age. Because of the large-scale funding, Further Education institutions who participated (or learned from the outputs of) the MoLeNET programme are, perhaps, better-positioned than many schools, Higher Education institutions, and other providers as regards mobile learning. Just as with any meaningful intervention or technology-enhanced learning initiative, there are no shortcuts. What this infoKit provides are some useful pointers and steps to consider along with some ‘snapshots’ of how other institutions have previously trod a similar path.
