Thesis (MTech. degree in Business Information Systems.)--Tshwane University of Technology, 2012. / This mini-dissertation describes opportunities to use mobile phones as interactive learning tools. Anecdotal evidence shows that almost all undergraduate students at the Tshwane University of Technology have mobile phones, while on the contrary, only a small percentage have access to a personal computer, let alone access to resources. Interaction between the lecturer and the students is low, communication after lecturing hours is difficult and access to additional or just-in-time learning material is limited to hand-outs given during a formal class period. The challenge is that interaction between lecturers and students is limited to formal learning spaces and times, e.g., lecture rooms and laboratories. Nevertheless, learning is not confined to formal spaces and times. In this mini-dissertation the focus is, on how a mobile phone can be used to provide access to learning material, provide last minute or just-in-time information and improve the communication between lecturer and student, outside of the formal class time and space.
