The mobile market is expanding in now-emerging countries
Mobile roaming Data per country
Bangladesh: 2,5 million mobile users added in Jan 2008
So anything (growingly) is possible!

Is that woman with the headset kidding?!
What about Electricity? Connectivity? User friendliness?

YOU CAN develop mobile projects 3 examples with different technologies
co design and co deploywith all stakeholders

The general basicsMobile learning = nomadic = possible
Advantages:
eLearning for adults & sporadic learners: reach anyone who has a phone or knows someone who has one
Funding: it gives ‘big chiefs’ a good feeling to be involved in m-learning
learners learn - when they want; - where they want; - keep in touch while in the field.
Low technology threshold: people have cell phones
No electricity needed => solar panel

Prepare beforehandMobile learning = learning
Keep this Ethiopean proverb in mind: “I want the wheat flour, I don’t care about the mill”, focus on what matters, not the technology.
Make sure you have a realistic need for mobile learning before jumping in.
Content is the essence => without quality content, your learning won’t be saved by any technology.
Reaching clear defined learning objectives is crucial.
Start small, grow big!

Wrap up: the mobile learning essence
analyze before setting up a mobile project Explore the latest mobile world for ideas and possible
technical solutions Only start with content that reaches its learning
objectives Incorporate all stakeholders from the start Understand the technical conditions your learners face
(and find solutions were needed) Keep the courses simple/intuitive and clear Diversity in courses, fit different learning skills Engage the learner (interactivity, implement context as
much as possible, user generated context).
