m-learning in Europe

Good article describing the deployment of, and survey evaluations from, a mobile learning project involving disadvantaged youth in Europe. "These young people are more likely to be unemployed, live in poverty, suffer ill health or become involved in crime. At particular risk are those with poor literacy and numeracy skills." It's probably too early to know the results of the pilot project, but it's interesting to note that surveys reported an increase in self confidence and better attitudes towards learning. m-learning, the article notes, is not just e-learning on a small screen; "Bandwidth, and therefore response times, are not yet good enough to make on-line mobile learning comparable with e-learning and learners can become very frustrated."
