mLearn 2005 Cape Town

The 4th International Conference on Mobile Learning was held in Cape Town, South Africa last week and was an outstanding opportunity to hear what's happening in mobile learning in both the developed and the developing worlds. The conversation has shifted from last year's event near Rome where most presentations were theoretical to this year where most were about actual implementations. There were several presentations on using SMS for learning administration and support, and a lot of presentations and papers on PDA based learning that showed how pervasive it is becoming. I'll point you towards the abstracts and papers when they become available.

Two weeks ago the Handheld Learning Forum was held in London with a focus on PDAs and phones used in schools. Over 200 people attended. you can see some of the proceedings by registering for free on their site here.
