Reviews / Votes
'There is a wealth of experience reported in the form of eight overview chapters and twelve case studies, and no significant prior knowledge of mobile technologies is assumed. It is therefore highly suitable as an introduction to the topic and will prove useful to any practitioners contemplating the feasibility and possibilities of mobile devices in learning and teaching.' - Peter Brophy, www.ics.heacademy.co.uk'Provides a useful snapshot of the state of the art in mobile learning in early 2005...There is much food for thought here.' - British Journal of Educational Technology 'This book can be recommended to educators and trainers developing or using mobile learning. Most of the materials in the contextual chapters (and useful glossary) will endure, and the case studies provide a useful and interesting snapshot of some of the projects undertaken by mobile learning pioneers and early adopters. Whilst the technologies used in future mobile learning initiatives may differ from those used in the projects reported in the book, some of the issues faced may be similar, particularly those relating to human and organisational factors, and it is helpful that we can learn from the experiences of others.' - ESCalate, Higher Education Academy
