Mobile Learning Adventure

Emerald-funded project, therefore strictly hush-hush for copyright/IP reasons.  How annoying was that. 

The most interesting part was a visit to Hayling College, early in March, to talk to a focus group of 11-year-olds and a selection of teachers.  The original concept changed dramatically in scope after chatting to the kids, who were full of excellent ideas for mobile resources they would like to use (no surprise there).

Some staff were hoping for mobile quiz apps to use as revision aids, but there would have been problems with content copyright and data administration.  However, there were other concepts to play with and we built a prototype based on one suggestion.  The PE teacher tested the system for us for the first time in June.
