Industry Fellow Carly Shuler draws on interviews with mobile learning experts as well as current research and industry trends to illustrate how mobile devices might be more broadly used for learning. Examining over 25 handheld learning products and research projects in the U.S. and abroad, the report highlights early evidence of how these devices can help revolutionize teaching and learning. Pockets of Potential also outlines mobile market trends and innovations, as well as key opportunities, such as mobile’s ability to reach underserved populations and provide personalized learning experiences. This study was featured at the Kids@Play Summit at the 2009 International CES® in Las Vegas, and was made possible by the generous support of the Pearson Foundation, with additional support from CPB and PBS Kids Raising Readers.

According to the Gartner Group, more than 70% of the Information Technology budget in today’s enterprises is destined to maintenance. The IT (Information Technology) infrastructure in schools is not different. Deployment, management and performance are the main problems. The authors address the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) with a model proposition to support the evolution of the IT infrastructure for education based on Gartner’s Infrastructure Maturity Model. It defines four evolution stages: Basic, Standardized, Rationalized and Dynamic. They introduce an extending level to address a
common scenario in education, which can be defined as the Chaos Level. In this level, there is no network or management policies, and limited access to the Internet. They propose a guideline for schools’ IT infrastructure in emerging markets with focus on Chaos and Basic scenarios. By following these steps, schools should be able to provide an effective learning experience using technology.
The full study is available below.
