Mobile Learning Help to Learners Identity and Support

A mentor involved in the project has been working with a homeless young adult who regularly truanted while at school and subsequently left without any qualifications. The mentor reported that as a result of participation in the m-learning project her client has not only developed a greater confidence in his current reading and writing abilities but has also been inspired to seek help to improve his mathematical skills from the local Adult Basic Education Centre. When reporting the young adult’s post-trial attitude to learning the mentor noted that ‘now he knows this is something that he really needs to work on and is now ready to do so’.
