Mobile phones, MP3 players and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) are increasingly becoming a part of every day life. This book explores the potential of these devices to improve and enhance the educational experiences of adult learners. It takes the reader through many of the functions that are now available while we are on the move and relates these to the potential educational benefits.
