In conclusion, this paper stresses a need to place students in various situations in which they can engage in effortful
interactions in order to create opportunities for active minds (Dillenbourg, Järvelä, & Fisher, in press). Wireless
networks and mobile tools will provide multiple opportunities for bridging different contents and contexts, as well as
virtual and face to face learning interactions in higher education. Since the learning environment in higher education
is more open and less teacher-guided than at other educational levels there is a need to increase student opportunities
for self-regulating their learning on an individual as well as socially shared level. Wireless networks and mobile tools
will provide future potential for developing learning in higher education, which needs to be explored in detail.
