The Mobile Classroom

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

Take a moment and read this article about Abilene Christian University and its decision to integrate mobile technology – iPhones and iTouches – into its classrooms.  Fascinating, huh?

A few points:

  • this is the kind of innovation that goes on all the time at U.S. universities, and makes them the best in the world
  • notice that such innovation doesn’t only happen at the big famous schools everyone has heard of.  How many international students have heard of Abilene Christian University?  If this mobile learning trend succeeds, my guess is this university’s profile is going to go way up.

What do you think?  Can you imagine learning with an iPhone?
