Handheld and Mobile Computing and Instructional Technologies

Lonnie D. Harvel, Vice President for Educational Technology, Georgia Gwinnett College presented a session at the EDUCAUSE 2007 Southeast Regional Conference entitled, "From Distraction to Interaction: Incorporating Cell Phones into the Learning Environment". In this 13 minute podcast, we interview Mr. Harvel about the emerging role of the cell phone in the classroom.

The cell phone is the most ubiquitous technology students carry today. This session will report on a pilot study on how to incorporate these devices into an effective learning environment that supports both academic and community development activities on and off campus.
