Mobile Learning in the Middle East
The conference will also present an opportunity for educators to develop new skills and to stimulate critical debate on theories, approaches, principles, and applications of m-learning and hence facilitate dialogue, sharing, and networking among diverse cultures with regard to the optimal use of emerging technologies.
Furthermore, the conference will provide participants with insight into the state of the art of portable devices, their role in university education, and potential benefits for learning purposes. Examples of the implementation of laptops, palmtops, mobile phones, PDAs, smart phones, WAPs, GPS and a navigational system, as well as WWW access via Bluetooth, WLAN, or GPRS will be presented. These will be accompanied by current prototypes that demonstrate their coherence and feasibility.
Last but not least, the conference will promote Jordan as the e-country of the Middle East and PSUT as an ICT Center of Excellence.
