- 49. EXAMPLES OF MOBILE LEARNING IN THE MAINSTREAM • South Africa. University of Pretoria: Academic administration by SMSs. Students in rural Africa receive mobile learning messages on timetable changes, enrolment deadlines, assignment results, examination requirements, administrative changes etc. Academic content SMSs giving summaries, examination assistance and multiple choice questioning. All students are studying education courses at the University and are teachers in rural schools with no computer network for elearning but all have mobile phones. • Australia: iPods were used to extend an established learning community beyond the university setting by creating audio files of professional dialogue captured during workshops and uploading them to a repository for teachers to access as needed. • Australia: dissemination through podcasts, record and edit an oral text to share with their student colleagues through their subject website.

Editor's Notes
- #41: Digital inclusion and exclusion: towards elearning for all Laura Czerniewicz Centre for Educational Technology University of Cape Town 3 September 2009
- #42: The clearest indication of a connectivity divide in South Africa lies in the discrepancy between population of a province and number of Internet users. When proportion of Internet users in a province is compared with proportion of population who are in that province, it becomes clear that Western Cape is the best connected of the provinces (bearing in mind the skew towards home users), with a ratio of twice as many users as its population proportion would indicate. The only other province with a positive ratio is Gauteng Goldstuck p119
