Mobile learning Mobile technologies are playing an increasingly important role in students' academic lives. These devices connect learners to the world instantly, providing access to information and enabling interactivity with peers, educators and parents.

As such, they continue to transform how students learn as well as influence their learning preferences, both inside and outside the classroom. We believe every student should be given access to a higher level of learning through the use of IT. For educators and learners, it is important that each student fulfils their potential, which is why we want to provide you with the opportunity to excel in the way you use technology.
