Resource+Bank

This can be an area where we list out any resources that we've found and could be useful for the seminar. Just because something's on this page doesn't mean we have to use it, but at least we'll be able to refer to this bank when we're deciding what to use and how.

Can anyone resize this first column? It could do to be much smaller. Yeah - I second that :P... I tried to resize it properly when setting it up, but for some weird reason Wikispaces (and our stream forum does the same thing) doesn't allow you to define the size of table cells - it looks like they depend entirely on the length of text contained... and links are considered as one big word. I'll try breaking up the links: hopefully that doesn't ruin their paths though. Table's still a little bung - but the links column is sorted... for the future ones - no need to paste the whole URL, just put a few words in there and put the URL into the link - using the link button up above - so that it still clicks through to the correct page. // Mark //

open access ||< An article that gives a bit of a summary of mobile phones and access (not about education, more about market and business use, but still relevant). ||< This could help us with an introduction/overview and it also segues into the Africa topic as all of the examples used in the article are from Africa || I don't think it's peer reviewed or anything - just a well-researched magazine-type article than a proper journal article or research || A pretty good summary of some key studies on what,how,why etc. || If we split the seminar into regions then this can inform discussion on the asia region. || 2007. Has some fairly short-sighted views on potential applications of mlearning and best practices, etc - but I think these are the views of a study that it is reviewing more than the article itself. ||
