He founded the Yoza Cellphone Stories project in 2009. The article I wrote for the BBC Future site (24 August 2012) is not available to users in the UK, so here it is below … The future of education in Africa is mobile. Over the coming months, A Matter of Life and Tech will feature a range of voices from people building Africa’s tech future. This week, United Nation’s mobile learning specialist Steve Vosloo argues phones could be the future of education on the continent. Education systems are under stress. In sub-Saharan Africa,  10m children drop out of primary school  every year.

In 2009, the passing of California’s Proposition 8, which prohibited same-sex couples from marrying, ignited a storm of protest across the state. There were large rallies across San Francisco and Los Angeles. But what about those people in less urban areas who wanted to get involved? The activist mobile provider,  CREDO Mobile , set up an SMS program to help people find a rally close to them, and then find a ride to get there, no matter where in California they lived. The campaign encouraged participation in the protest movement by making it simple for supporters to take a stand.

During the H1N1 scare in 2009, the California Department of Public Health wanted to help citizens get vaccinated against the virus. Challenge: How do you get vital clinic information to Californians, targeted around their location? They had a database of all the places where Californians could go to get the vaccine. The problem was – they had no simple way for people to access that information. Solution: Let people text in to find the closest clinic near them. They asked people to text in NOFLU or their zip code to 30644. Then they would be directed to the closest flu clinic near them.

Indeed, the failure to provide teachers with appropriate guidance in a rural OLPC deployment in India led to the Write activity being used simply as a ‘routinised’ worksheet substitute almost to the exclusion of other XO tools such as “the group and community collaboration features, the Internet, the Chat activity, pedagogical activities such as Turtle Art, and the Hindi keyboard language feature”(2009, p154).

Social entrepreneurs (remarked that Bill Gates asked the audience what was meant by social entrepreneurs in 2009, Doha – ict4d), they might make a difference. Although a propagator of learning with mobile devices, in this seminar John Traxler takes a look at learning with mobile devices from another angle, a critical one while looking for answers from all of us. He moves away from the main trend of depicting mLearning as successful simply because it brings education to people that did not use technology for education before and of the main narrative that mLearning is a sure benefit.

This is building on a previous post that I wrote in June 2009 when Layar got their first big media attention. Sometimes the steps in between a learning applications are not mentioned, however all the steps leading up to a result or to the use of a tool can be interesting and possibly helpful. So I decided to take hold of all the steps leading up to a new Augmented Reality (AR) mobile learning application. Why do I look at AR?
