Open and Distance Education through Wireless Mobile Internet: A Learning Model - Sanjay Jasola and Ramesh Sharma, Inst Tech and Dist Learning
Technology has been the driving force to bring paradigm shifts in education. Big changes are not possible unless tools are available. Technology has great impact on what we can do. The printing press is an example. People had been reading and writing even before the invention of the press but it was not that wide spread. The quality and quantity to accumulate knowledge has been possible with the books accessible and affordable to all. In earlier days, students had to rely on memory to remember everything that teacher delivered but now books are available. More recently, there has been universal use of inventions as radio, television, and, increasingly, computers in distance education. The past few years have produced an explosion of electronic information resources available to students, teachers, library patrons, and anyone with a computer. Millions of pages of graphics and text-based information can be accessed directly on-line through hundreds of public, private, and commercial networks, including the biggest network of all: the Internet. In this paper we propose a learning model for open and distance education through wireless mobile internet.
