| Abstract: | This LSDA publication brings together literature published in the past decade, focussing on the use of mobile phones by young people, and the findings of research carried out by the LSDA as part of the EC supported m-learning project. The body of research relating to the use of mobile phones and their impact on individuals and society is still relatively small. It is however quite broad in terms of the sectors and academic disciplines involved and includes work by sociologists, philosophers and librarians as well as by experts in areas as diverse as computer/human interfaces and town planning. The amount of research explicitly exploring the use of mobile phones in education is still small, although there is an increasing amount of work-in-progress. Therefore the authors have sought to distil from all sources messages that may inform the development of mobile learning. The findings of LSDA's research are based on a survey of young adult mobile phone users (740 respondents). These have helped us to gain a better understanding of how the m-learning project's target audience use their mobile phones and how this use impacts on their lives. We have also gathered indications of the mobile phone functionality and services they would find attractive both now and in the future and whether they would be interested in mobile phone games that could help improve their literacy and numeracy skills. |
