Abstract: The use of mobile technologies to support, enhance and improve access to learning is a relatively new idea and while many teenagers and twenty-somethings are expert mobile phone users many educators are not. This publication provides a quick, plain English introduction to mobile phone technology and summarises the work and findings of the m-learning research and development project. This project investigated the potential of mobile devices for taking learning to young adults with literacy and/or numeracy difficulties The aims of this publication are to: provide an update on the development of mobile phone technologies with the potential for supporting and/or delivering some elements of teaching and learning processes report briefly on the work and key findings of the m-learning research and development project, which completed 3 years of work in September 2004. Full details of the project findings can be found in a separate research report. This report and further information about the project is available via the LSDA (www.LSDA.org.uk) and m-learning (www.m-learning.org) websites. The m-learning project was funded by the European Commission's Information Society Technologies (IST) initiative with matched funding from the project partners and, in the UK, the Learning and Skills Council. There are five project partners: two university-based research units (Ultralab at Anglia Polytechnic University in the UK and Centro di Ricerca in Matematica Pura ed Applicata (CRMPA) at the University of Salerno in Italy), two commercial companies (Cambridge Training and Development Limited (CTAD) in the UK and Lecando in Sweden) and the Learning and Skills Development Agency (LSDA) in the UK.
