Trends in Distance Education and Open Learning: Policy Papers

This report is a study about mobile learning and it presents case studies in order to make an assessment of the current progress in m-learning across the globe. It also proposes a comprehensive framework for the successful implementation of any m-learning project in the context of the African educational setup. This research has shown that m-learning should be viewed as a paradigm shift rather than a simple extension of distance/on-line learning. M-learning offers several benefits that still need to be exploited on the continent.
