In this episode Leonard explores the latest tools available for supporting mobile learning, and the latest trends in mobile technology.

Recent educational developments in mobile learning include the documentation of national standards, an increasing array of online resources for mobile learning use, and the MLearn conference to be hosted in Melbourne in October this year (2007).

Some of the most exciting technological developments that will improve opportunities and accessibility for learners include slide-out “thumb” keyboards, intelligent touch screen interfaces, wireless colour printers that fit in the palm of your hand, and miniature projectors that can project a desktop-sized screen image from a handheld device.

Leonard discusses what these developments mean for the future of mobile learning, and how we can create mobile learning opportunities for learners that are engaging and practical – now and in the future.
