After successfully completing the second year of my mathematics and computing degree at Coventry University I began my industrial placement year with sigma the centre for excellence in teaching and learning in mathematics and statistics support. Before it had been confirmed that I had the project assistant job with sigma I had chosen a dissertation on computer graphics.
One of sigma’s main aims was to use new emerging technologies to develop innovative teaching methods. With the increasing popularity of new high powered mobile technologies such as iPods iPads laptops and smart phones many students have access to a mobile device capable of accessing the internet or playing video clips anywhere. With more and more students wielding mobile devices a new opportunity for education on-the-go has arrived. Mobile learning or m-learning is becoming a new frontier for education.
