Instead of banning phones and giving detention to any student foolish enough to take out their mobile in class, the school has been part of a nine-month research project into whether they can be used effectively in teaching. During 2007 and 2008 Dr Elizabeth Hartnell-Young from the Learning Sciences Research Institute at Nottingham University and her colleagues explored ways in which students in five secondary schools could use smartphones in class. In the research project many of the students were given phones to use, but this is not going to be the case generally.

If you’ve had any exposure to media about distance education or online learning lately, then you’re probably aware that just about everyone is talking about mobile learning. It seems that with the exponential growth of the smartphone market, and the related boom in tablet computing, people are getting hip to the idea that learning not only doesn’t have to be relegated to the classroom, it doesn’t have to be relegated to a room, period. First, the obvious: the iPhone and iPad. Simple! Web app. Bonus!

In the learning and development world, we go so far as to grant post-graduate degrees in instructional design, incorporating ideas from graphics, psychology, organizational behavior, adult learning theory and various bits of technology research and development, among other specialty areas. And research projects like the study that created CMAP Tools are truly a gift to the world, very powerful stuff.

And, according to new research, that figure will climb to $6.8 That is how I closed each of my 8 presentations at the Cisco booth at Educause 2010 this week.  What I should have said instead though is “Learning is Mobile”. Mobility in Education is not a future trend; it is happening right now all around us.  And I should have known better since Higher Education has been a very early adopter of wireless networking and our customers are constantly interested in the latest technology. Naturally you can consume all these videos from a number of mobile (or not) devices. My conclusion?
