Mobile Learning Help to Reluctant Learners

The ESOL mentor felt that this aspect of traditional learning can often be the most frightening for those who have not previously engaged with learning. He suggested that, as most of the learners in his group were familiar with games machines such as PlayStations or GameBoys,they were quick to respond to using the project’s mobile devices and likened the XDA II to a ‘turboed Game Boy’. This familiarity with apparently similar technology helped to engage the learners within the class and maintained their interest levels.
