WMPowerUser.com has a great article covering the "Learning on the Go" project involving 500 hairdressing students from Stockport College and Trafford Colleges. According to the article,

"Hairdressing students as well as students receiving additional learning support were provided with T-Mobile MDA Vario III’s worth £500. For the first time ever students were able to play learning games, write up assignments, conduct internet research, take photos or videos, create learning blogs and access the College student intranet through the college’s virtual private network (VPN) – wherever they are. The devices were also used to email peers and tutors.

The £300,000 Learning on the Go project aims to enhance student success rates, add value to the learning experience and attract new students. The interactive learning materials, produced by the University of Manchester, can be accessed 24/7 through the wireless mobile devices."

 This is a great story about the powerful ways organizations are starting to use mobile devices.
