Abstract

Access to mobile technologies is increasingly disrupting the teaching and learning setting, with mobile phones and other hand held or body worn technologies increasingly providing computation ‘on-the-go’. The onset of network communication through the Internet is poised to bring huge changes to ‘always-on’ teaching, learning and training according to researcher Alexander Hayes who is a Senior Education Officer at the Swan District Education Office in Perth Western Australia. This workshop brings leaders in the education and training setting together to explore the myriad of ways in which mobile technologies may challenge the current education and training stereotype.
