My Technologies - 24/7 access Students really value 24/7 access to online learning materials which allows them to fit learning into their lives. Students expect to be able to use personal technologies and services in institutional contexts. Students are creating their own learning spaces, blending virtual with face-to-face, and formal with social networking.

Coming up... Mobile phones were identified in the Horizon Report (2009) as the technologies with the highest likelihood of entry into the mainstream of learning-focused institutions within the next year /

The phones are changing! Devices are coming with larger screens e.g.: iPhone, Touch HD, Touch Pro 2 & Toshiba TG01 Programmes that automatically Reflow Text make reading easier Text to Speech – no screen needed Pico Projection (Thanks to Neil Milliken – Iansyst)
