It is already happening. But will require some time to evolve. There are certain limitations on what can be and what cannot be. A good part of it is already in place and students are regularly using it.

Dear Dony, In my opinion it is a very useful solution in teaching-learning process. Mobile platforms (blackboard technology) is used for many years eg. for examination and knowledge sharing. I like it but don't understand it as an exclusive method mainly in human sciences.

Dear Dony

I think it has already begun, in a way. I am delivering lectures in a program through video conferencing to MBA distance-learning students. This is a situation where the students are in different locales.

It is also likely that the deliverer too is mobile. This will be especially so where the educational skill being imparted is of very rare or special quality and deliverer can not travel to the central place from where the university department is situated; rather arrangement is made for her/him to deliver the learning from the place that suits the deliverer.

It is already happening. But will require some time to evolve. There are certain limitations on what can be and what cannot be. A good part of it is already in place and students are regularly using it.

Dear @Dony, I think that mobile technology is a very important tool; however, mobile platform can help educational institutions to achieve delivering quality education, but only as a help material.

Thank you for all the answer, Prof. Nageswara caught my mind its suppose to be evolving to what firm in the next.

Yes Prof.Debi, Prof.Kamal and Prof Nageswara its not challenge as its happening but in some parts of my country still have that difficulties especially in eastern part and unseen area as excess of inequality policy(iffen thou its near capital city). As it still refer on the previous question.

Yes Prof. Ahed, internet technology has change it a lot goes around also with soc media in mobile platform.

Thank you Prof.Agnes,its suppose to be supportive help material as Prof Abedallah answer, but not as an exclusive methode,hopefully help to break geographical and cost barrier.

Dear Dony,

in my opinion, the new mobile technologies represent a very useful solution to improve the learning quality especially in the poor countries where there were very big difficulties for using the classical learning platforms such as the high cost of equipments installation, the different technical problems, the lack of security.. etc. in the other hand, the mobile devices are becoming more and more popular. every student has today at least one smart-phone, always with him and always connected. therefore, the mobile platforms could not only replace the traditional ones, but also provide new opportunities for an ubiquitous and personalised learning.

Dear Dony, I think this topic gives us more questions than answers. My interest is focusing on the lacks of lecturers' awareness. My experience is that our ICT or mobile skills are not improved enough to maximise all the possibilities of mobile technology in teaching. What is your experience?????

Dear Prof.Agnes,yes its also happening here iffen a good IT based university has more lecturer that lack of awareness or iffen dont have enough ict skills or mobile skills that can be use to maximize the things as technology enhance learning if its to answer the question.

Like any new technology ICT also requires a lot of training. University has to make sure that all the stake holders gets the necessary training needed. See here the example of my university doing.

In fact, I agree with Nageswara that universities have to make sure that all the stakeholders get the necessary training needed.

Mobiles provide ubiquity and can make the dreams of lifelong learning and ubiquitous learning come true. Howewer, mobiles are a disruptive technology and need totally different educational/instructional/training models, not only because of cost and technical constraints (such as network problems or small displays) but mainly due to Continuous Partial Attention (CPA).

CPA was first mentioned by Linda Stone and basically implies chronic stress and reduced attention span due to cognitive multitasking in mobile users. Did you ever stop to think what toll could it take on users their continuous and divided attention

between their "physical" and "virtual/connected" lives? We know that it takes a toll on people's relationships when they are with someone and keep on looking at their mobiles, reading and answering messages, playing games, etc. But it also reduces thier cognitive capacity reducing their attention span and their capacity for concentration and reflection-that is, their capacity for learning.

Therefore, ubiquitous learning requires small "chunks" of learning by doing activities that can be captured using recording tools that mobiles already have. And I definitely would say that lecturing and mobiles definitely do not go well together.

Mobiles are a totally different platform with their own rules and require different types of teachers. As someone who is doing some R&D on ubiquitous learning, I think that ubiquitous teaching may be a challenge but that it also can be quite fulfilling and "grounded" in the socio-cultural-technical context of the 21st century.

Thank you dear Maria for your fruitfull answer view this in cognitive area of pedagogy.

The best way to encourage trainees to put into practice what they learn is to involve the line managers in the process.  Get the line managers convinced that the usage of newly acquired skills would enhance the productivity of those working under them and they would inturn ensure that everyone under them uses that skill.
