"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." (Mike Sharples, Nottingham University)
"In following work, the driver then became to better support mobile learning activity – a structure needed to be put in place across the board rather than relying solely on more localised, smaller-scale mobile innovations and interventions to gather pace and disseminate more widely. The OU would not be in a position to dictate nor provide devices wholesale and so we would need to work electively with what students had available." (Rhodri Thomas, Open University)
