Technological developments in ubiquitous and mobile computing offer possibilities to all levels of education and, due to their
non-reliance on traditional communications infrastructure, they offer emerging countries an opportunity to jump ahead. Exactly
how these technologies should best be used in education, however, is not completely clear at this time. It is important that
further work be done in evaluating potential uses of mobile computing in education. This focus group recommends that TC3 set
up a Task Force on mobile learning to conduct these investigations.
Key words Mobile learning – mobile platforms – flexible learning – hand-held computers
