Policy Brief DocumentThis document lays down draft policies in view of the implementationof mobile learning (m-learning) in formal and informal educational andtraining settings following a research study contracted out by theAssociation for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA).1. Education Access & Reach(i) Institutions need to identify and imagine educationalscenarios whereby m-learning can add value to the currenteducational goals and objectives. For instance, the blending ofm-learning with current modes in DEOL should be envisaged.(ii)M-learning must be adopted and adapted to broaden reachand access to a larger population in rural areas.(iii)(iv)Train the trainer courses on a massive scale with m-learningshould be elaborated.m-learning must be made accessible to the vulnerable groupsthough community centres with the assistance of the privateand public operators.2. Integration of m-technology in curriculum(i) Integration of m-technology for teaching and learningpurposes must be initiated as from the Primary level, giventhe acquaintances of younger generation with the mobilephone and the internet.(ii)At the secondary level, universal subject on ICT includingmobile communications should be present.10
(iii)Use of mobile applications and Campus WiFi should be part ofthe universities infrastructure administrative and academictools.(iv)Candidates eligible for foundation courses for a pathwaytowards mainstream university programmes should beassisted with mobile technology in order to increase theirchances towards success. This initiative will boost the tertiaryintake figures.3. Mobile Content Development(i) Necessary infrastructure and human resources are to beindentified to create capacity building in mobile contentdevelopment.(ii)Open source technology should be favored for projects to becost effective and sustain economy of scale.(iii)M-learning projects must create new business models andopportunities and linkages and ventures with market leadersare to be encouraged.4. Mobile Broadband and Multimedia Services(i) Regulators and the Internet think tank need to ponder on howto bridge the Broadband divide.(ii)Special consideration must be given to capabilities tobroadcast Multimedia services.11
