/Gerry

Since 2004, the New Media Consortium (NMC) has profiled select emerging
technologies and practices that an advisory board predicts will enter
mainstream use in learning-focused organizations over the next one to five
years. For several years, the adoption and use of mobile devices and
services have been featured in its annual Horizon Report.

In this presentation, we will review the mobile phenomenon and profile a
wide array of initiatives and projects that offer anytime/anywhere access to
a variety of educational and information resources, services, and sources.
We will conclude with a review of current and potential challenges and
opportunities that institutions and their departments face in the
ever-expanding mobile environment.

Gerry McKiernan is the owner of the personal blog _Spectrum > Mobile
Learning, Libraries, and Technologies_, which is devoted to documenting
activities, initiatives, and projects relating to mobile technologies and
their applications in educational environments.
