Recenzje

'There is a wealth of experience reported in the form of eight overview chapters and twelve case studies, and no significant prior knowledge of mobile technologies is assumed. It is therefore highly suitable as an introduction to the topic and will prove useful to any practitioners contemplating the feasibility and possibilities of mobile devices in learning and teaching.' - Peter Brophy, www.ics.heacademy.co.uk

'Provides a useful snapshot of the state of the art in mobile learning in early 2005...There is much food for thought here.' - British Journal of Educational Technology
