'Always on' Learning Communities: M-Learning landscapes transforming school cultures

澳大利亚正在上网：澳大利亚企业的互联网接入率接近100%，家庭的互联网接入率接近60%(ABS 2005)。移动设备的拥有量正以每年10%的速度增长，据澳大利亚电信预测，到2007年底，将有近90%的澳大利亚人口拥有移动设备。澳大利亚和新西兰政府已承诺提供7300万美元用于开发在线课程内容。然而，关于在课堂上使用这类内容的研究有限，而且没有提到使用移动设备的可能性。可持续的未来有赖于我们的年轻人做好相关准备，才能在知识社会取得成功。

Australia is going online: Internet access in Australian business is close to 100 percent and is almost 60 percent in households (ABS 2005). Ownership of mobile devices is growing at 10 percent each year and by the end of 2007 it is predicted by Telstra that close to 90 percent of the Australian population will own a mobile device. There has been a government commitment of $73 million for the development of online curriculum content in Australia and New Zealand. However, there has been limited research to inform the use of such content in classrooms and no reference to the possibilities of using mobile devices. Sustainable futures rely on the relevant preparation of our young people to succeed in the knowledge society.
