UK Minister applauds mobile learning studies - Rachel Fielding, Vnunet

The secretary of state for education, Charles Clarke, has applauded a tie-up between the University of Birmingham and Microsoft to research the impact of mobile technologies on learning within the higher education sector. As part of the partnership, the Centre of Educational Technology and Distance Learning (CETADL), which was set up at the university two years ago, will investigate how mobile technologies can be used to improve the education process and open up opportunities for remote learning. The three-year programme will include research into the use of mobile technologies for supporting learning through online mentoring and peer collaboration.
