The M-learning Project

Three-year project (October 2001- September 2004) supported by the European Commission's Information Society Technologies (IST) with participants from Britain, Italy and Sweden. to develop prototype educational products and services that are inexpensive, portable and accessible to the majority of EU citizens. The pilot project used mobile phones to target of young adults (16 to 24) who are not currently taking part in education or training and to assist them in the development of life long learning objectives using activities designed to develop aspects of literacy and numeracy.

MobiLearn

International research project (July 2002-December 2004) exploring context-sensitive, informal, problem-based and workplace learning via mobile technologies. Objectives include:

•  defining models for effective learning, instructional design and content development for a mobile environment;
•  developing a reference mobile learning architecture that supports mobile devices, context awareness tools, integrated mobile media delivery, learning content management systems, and collaborative learning applications
•  developikng a business model and implementation strategies for successful EU-wide deployment of mobile learning by studying existing business models and market trends and analyzing the external environment.
