Mobile Learning is something UCT should be strongly considering; this is a new branch of technology for education and it can lead to greater / increased access to those that do not have traditional methods of accessig quality education. This could be rewarding for the continent of Africa especially if structured correctly

Mobile learning – people r still designing for PC / laptop / paper and transforming over.
We are in the mobile world and it’s easy to design for mobile and putting on pc than vice versa.
1.6 billion Internet connections out of 6.8 billion world population. That is 25%
The world is going mobile – 3.4 billion mobile devices and 1.3 billion mobile internet users
Mobile devices – look at accessibility, functionality, features, usability, performance and bandwidth – it’s a balancing act
Fluid design – www is flexible for display on different sized screens, enabling users preferences (font size) etc
Design for mobile first – not for PC. PC is no longer the standard.
