Mobile learning is growing by leaps and bounds, and mobile learning devices are no longer restricted to the classroom. Most students, including young students, own or have access to cell phones, iPods, tablets, or other handheld devices—and school administrators are quickly realizing that students can use those devices to access school websites, classroom assignments, and other educational resources from both school and home.
But for mobile learning to break through barriers of time and space and enable true 24-7 learning to occur, school leaders need the right policies, support structures, and platforms in place to extend the learning environment from school to home and in between.
With the generous support of Blackboard, we’ve assembled this collection of stories from our archives, along with other relevant resources, to help you make sound decisions about how best to deploy mobile learning in your schools.
