Are You Ready for Mobile Learning? by Joseph Rene Corbeil and Maria Elena Valdes-Corbeil, EDUCAUSE Quarterly, Vol. 30, 2007. ‘Frequent use of mobile devices does not mean that students or instructors are ready for mobile learning and teaching. From the Conclusions: ‘Are distance-education students and faculty ready to make the jump from e-learning to mobile learning? What does it mean to be ready? To answer these questions, we examined the mobile devices that students and faculty were already using, as well as the activities they engaged in while using these devices. In most cases, both students and faculty already participated in a variety of mobile computing and communication activities at work and for recreation. They were not, however, integrating mobile technologies into their teaching and learning activities.’
