M-learning
The Best Place to Learn?
No Place.
Work by French anthropologist Marc Augé suggests that 'non-places'
- airports, railway stations, motorway service stations -
might represent an ideal environment for learning. Trapped
in these 'transitory spaces', freed from distractions, meetings
and interruptions, the terminally time-pressed find themselves
liberated to reflect and digest.
With a whole new generation of handheld devices coming on stream
- and with mobiles consistently outselling PCs - could hotel rooms,
airport lounges and train carriages become the classrooms of the
future? Donald Clark, CEO of Epic Group plc, assesses
the advantages and limitations of mobile as a platform for e-learning,
identifies specific uses that 'nomadic learning' can be put to and
surveys the technical architecture.
