“Introduction - Developing m-learning - the time is right?” Peter J. Bates Senior Partner, pjb Associates Pearson Meeting Room Suite, London 24 September 2001
Innovative approaches to Learning • Monitoring trends and developments • Catalyst to stimulate new business opportunities • Widening access to learning in order to reduce social exclusion • New opportunities for the continuous up-skilling of the workforce in order to maintain competitiveness.
What’s happening • Wireless LANs • PDAs + widespread use of mobile phones • New personal devices emerging
New Opportunities • Moving to era of personal devices • Not just for business people • 14-16 yrs will expect to have a personal device anytime any place • Overcoming social exclusion
Why establish the Forum? • We believe that the time is right to establish a neutral forum for vendors, network operators, educationalists, trainers and learning content providers to discuss the wide variety of issues and context in which learning through mobile and wireless devices could develop.
What’s it all about? • Human Networking • Floating and sharing ideas • Sharing Knowledge and know-how • Developing partnerships
