mLearning – utilizing mobile devices for the delivery of education – has the potential to transform the lives of millions of children and adults in conflict zones around the world.
Reflections on writing my mobile learning advocacy paper
As part of the course in Mobile Learning in Education (College of Education, Graduate Studies, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign), we were tasked with writing an advocacy paper for the use of mobile devices in education. How we narrowed our topic was up to us and the possible learning areas we could write about quite broad. In short, a perfect assignment. The proviso was that it was to be short and presented in a format that could be viewed on a mobile device. This was where I got ‘stuck’.
The topic of my advocacy paper is how mLearning can be used in conflict zones to deliver english-languge education. The country of focus was Afghanistan and the agency that I was ‘pitching’ the project to the Aga Khan Development Network/Aga Khan Education Services (AKES). A link to the paper is here:
