Interested in the future of mobile learning and the technology that drives it? I am geoff stead. This is a vintage blog of mine I'm reviving for m-learning thoughts that stray beyond the day job. You can find my work with enterprise mobile learning at WorkLearnMobile.org, and in english language learning over at beta.cambridgeenglish.org

6 million pounds to buy m-learning kit in UK
Wow! MoLeNET (www.molenet.org.uk)
Hot off the press - the LSC is making £6million available for FE colleges (and their partners) to buy m-learning devices.
Colleges are being invited to apply for grants of between £100 000 and £500 000 for capital expenses, to contribute to mobile learning projects. Colleges will need to contribute other costs, like training and support to a minimum of 20% of the funding they recieve.
This is great news, as it is a clear indication that the mainstream has recognised the potential benefits in mobile learning, and is trying to spread the love
If you are in FE and based in England, come along to the open day on 9 July
keepin' it mobile
