Once educational content is created, a mobile device can be used as a media player to display
animation, the content of e-books, games, music, video, simulations, and other forms of e-
learning content.
Using a mobile device as a personal and community organizer
Because mobile phones can be used to call many people at the same time, they are good for
audio conferences and for organizing and coordinating “Smart mobs” or “learning swarms.”
Mobile phones are an indispensable tool for managing human resources in the field, including
automating a number of HR functions. Mobile phones are one of the devices used for uniting
virtual learning communities.
Most PDAs and mobile phones now have built-in personal organizers and schedulers that allow
people to organize their lives.

Using a mobile device for verifying identity
In this era of heightened security, mobile phones can be used for identity checking by recording
unique voice prints. Other biometric functions such as iris scanning and fingerprint matching are
also becoming miniaturized for mobile devices. This function can be critical for education if the
identity of the respondent on a task is to be verified.
