mLearning

One of the projects that I am looking at for next year is mLearning, it is a definition that is being banded around.

M-learning, or "mobile learning", now commonly abbreviated to "mLearning", has different meanings for different communities. Although related to e-learning and distance education, it is distinct in its focus on learning across contexts and learning with mobile devices. One definition of mobile learning is: Learning that happens across locations, or that takes advantage of learning opportunities offered by portable technologies. In other words, mobile learning decreases limitation of learning location with the mobility of general portable devices.

There is a conference on next week that I need to see if I can get some details and ideas from. http://www.mlearn2008.org/

Now I need to figure out what is being done with this and how we can use this to create and distribute content to students.

I need to read some blogs and some ideas about m-learning
