I am working on Education in Sub Sahara Africa. I recently found some literature and primary data collection on the use of mobile phones in teacher education and enhanced student learning. On one hand mobile phones are cheaper and access to the net is more widely and consistently available than when using older computer technology (including the tablets disseminated via OLPC). Does anyone know of any research which provides evidence that mobile phone based learning is valuable or a distraction from learning in Africa? I have seen Savoirs communs n°17, Digital Services for Education in AfricaDoes anyone have any experience of teaching in Africa that might consider helping me understand things better?
There are many researches about the importance of smartphone in learning. however, I have no access to related research in Africa.
Dear Frank Beran ,
I agree with Hassan Izzeddin Sarsak
not only in Africa, but anywhere, cell phone is more useful as an educational tool, in sense of remote disciplines.I think its value can make its distribution even more viable when compared to a laptop, which costs up to four times value of a simple smartphone.
I wish everyone a lot of health.
Regards,
Wiltgen
