| Description | Proceedings of MLEARN 2003: Learning with Mobile Devices. London, UK: Learning and Skills Development Agency that has been trialled with university students. The aim was to investigate whether an integrated set of learning tools would be useful, which tools would be adopted, and the contexts in which the tools would be used. The results show no single favoured application. The most frequent activities were reading email, note taking, managing deadlines and appointments, and listening to music. The main reported limitation, apart from battery life, weight, and processor speed, was the loss of wireless LAN connectivity, and thus usefulness, when outside the university department. A comparative evaluation was also carried out between one of the learning organiser tools-a tree structured concept map- and a more traditional style free-format concept map. The results suggest that each concept mapping tool may be suited to different tasks and type of user. |
