Mobile learning helps learners to remain more focused for longer periods

A mentor told our researcher: ‘The group were observed to be remarkably focused and calm during the session when given the devices in contrast to their normal behaviour in the sessions. They were far more focused and gave up to two hours of time to the devices when it is normally difficult to focus them for 15 minutes.’It is possible that this effect was due to the novelty of using mobile devices and whether this is the case or not will become clearer over time.
