Abstract

This article describes a mobile learning project, where mobile devices are used for educational activities. The article defines the word "mobility" from the educational point of view. We present experiences recorded while using mobile technology in teacher training and among students of forest resource. Two pilots were carried out at the Department of Home Economics and Craft Science and the Department of Forest Resource Management of the University of Helsinki. The goal of these innovative pilot projects is to create flexible teaching solutions, which will enable users of all kinds of devices to access of information, and to support learning in a variety of situations.
