The Mobile Learning infoKit is a developing resource from JISC infoNet launched at ALT-C 2011 alongside the new JISC publication Emerging Practice in a Digital Age (September 2011). Augmenting the Emerging Practice guide, this infoKit is a practical guide for educational institutions planning to implement a mobile learning initiatiative.
At launch, the Mobile Learning infoKit comprises a wiki-based resource collating information and guidance from JISC and other sources. It will develop to include a section on future trends, incorporate additional examples, and be made available in a variety of formats.

Institutions should consider mobile learning as part of their overall provision of IT services, considering both cost effectiveness and educational value. Personal and mobile technologies offer an opportunity to rethink IT services, towards supporting student-owned devices and connecting learning within and outside the campus.
