Can mobile devices complement learning solutions? YES.

"Sometimes, it's easier to get your hand on a mobile phone rather than a school," says Manisan Minocha, Technical Service Manager of a Finnish company and an IT professional based in India.

About 26 days ago,  I posted under the Education and Schools heading at LinkedIn a question, "are students and educational establishments catching up with handheld learning solutions?"

This is related to the general view of transformational learning as the "convergence of consumer electronics, entertainment software, educational technology and learning". The follow-up question is, "are we ready to veer from the traditional learning environment and embrace emerging mobile and ubiquitous technologies for teaching and learning?"

There are three answers altogether; from the Philippines and Canada, and now recenly a comment from India, republished below:

"This seems to make sense in India, wherein the children of remote rural villages may not have access to schooling. But with mobile services, it seems that it may be easier to get your hand on a mobile phone rather than a school," Manish answered. "Well, at least one major mobile operator in India is taking the idea of e-learning and advertising it. The company is Idea Cellular, and you can know more about their campaign. 'Hope the above gives you some clues."

Meanwhile, I found that it's always great to be on good terms with former colleauges around the world, especially when they find precious time to answer your questions at networking sites. Thanks, Manish and more power!
