ecampus.mobi

September 27th, 2006

 Like a squillion other companies we have  been scrambling for our .mobi domain name.   For those of you who haven’t encountered .mobi before, it’s a top level domain for content designed to be accessed by mobile devices.  It has the backing of many of the significant  players in mobile communications and search including Vodafone, Samsung,  Google, Microsoft, Nokia etc.

Using mobile devices as a learning tool is not a new idea,  but it is still very much at the bleeding edge stage.  I think we have had two enquiries about mobile  learning this year and one of those was looking for a bus to transport research students.  I think I can confidently call the market immature.

Whilst we are contemplating what to do with our new found ecampus.mobi  domain you can check out a couple of the (Australian) pioneers of this new  fangled technology.

Leonard Low – Investigates everything m-learning.  We read his blog daily so we know what’s going  on.

Sue Waters – Some interesting interviews with people unitising  mobile technology in the TAFE sector.
