Perspectives Emerging
The current development of Mobile learning practices are a direct result of dominant social forces shaping the way we learn and acquire knowledge
Research Statements:
Mobile learning is a logical progression within the evolution of education and educational practices
Research Statements:
Lesser developed regions are more likely to adopt and adapt to current and emerging mobile learning cultures
Research Statements:
Research Statements:
Mobile learning is an evolutionary stage of progression within the development of education and educational practices?
Mobile Learning is a evolutionary process shaped by the societal need to adapt to the current phase of societal development
Developing a Working Thesis:
The mobility of the individual increases the capabilities of individuals to adapt to their environment and social circumstances.
Developing a Working Thesis:
The future of mobile learning is not dependent on access to technology and related infrastructure, but rather developing the awareness, skills and capabilities within individuals to decide if mobile-learning brings them personal benefit.
Working Thesis:
Lesser developed regions are more likely to adopt mobile learning scenarios in order to achieve (or maintain) a more equal social standing with other more developed regions.
Working Thesis:
Technology enhanced mobile learning is a result of current societal developments (Globalization)and will become the dominant method of knowledge acquisition within non-formal and informal learning scenarios
