Welcome to Week 11 \u2013 m-learning!<\/h2>\n

This week we\u2019ll look at mobile learning. What\u2019s \u201cmobile learning\u201d? Is it any kind of learning with a small device? Or a lifestyle of learning with the assistance of small devices while roaming in the world? Consider these broader questions while you\u2019re participating this week.<\/p>\n

Although many devices qualify as mobile, from iPods to cellphones to tablets and netbooks, we\u2019ve chosen to focus on cellphones due to their unique combination of tiny form factor, ubiquity and wireless connectivity.<\/p>\n
