mInteract

Online tool for sustainable active experiential mobile learning

Abstract

The rapid evolution and ubiquitous use of mobile devices is an historical opportunity to improve experiential interactivity in education practices to support ‘deep’ learning. A major barrier to the widespread adoption of mobile learning in higher education is that of cost. Opportunities to overcome this barrier include the high rate of ownership of mobile phones by university students and technological solutions such as packet transmission technologies. mInteract™ is an online system which uses packet technology to build no-to-low cost interactivity into learning spaces. mInteract supports sustainable active experiential learning transactions for both student and teacher.
