Story-Based Mobile Learning With GSM Phones
Mobile phone technology today is available worldwide and throughout all levels of society. This makes them an ideal tool for the distribution of learning content with the widest possible outreach. Existing mobile learning solutions, however, are hardly suitable for threshold and developing countries, since they focus on 3G technology and require smartphones and broad bandwidth. This is not available in all regions – or only at high cost. The lack of literacy and/or media competency in different levels of society further complicates matters .To use the full potential of mobile phones for learning purposes, a simple and easy to use solution was needed. The eLearning consultants of common sense, together with partners from academia and the technology sector, have developed I-Call, a mobile training solution to offer a cost-effective, easy to use, highly visible and widely available learning tool, accepted by users of different backgrounds and education levels. The solution does not focus on multimedia, but on audio formats and traditional approaches to learning, like story-telling.
