What is mobile learning? 
Media supported learning is available in very exciting places: directly at work, in the small breaks of your everyday life or in the middle of a busy day. In this way, it is directly where you need it or where it is especially effective. Mobile devices like the mobile phone, Smartphone or Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) broaden the horizon for attractive possibilities to expand knowledge and competencies, which haven't been attainable in such an elegant manner up until now. However, mobile learning is not a novelty. Mobile media, such as books, have been available for a long time. Innovative are functions like Internet access, mobile phoning or the possibility to retrieve data in combination with the newly gained mobility. Learning scenarios which are detached from desks and cables are now able to make innovative learning experiences available. On these pages we are able to present to you for the first time solutions for mobile learning that have been proven to work by putting them into practice. Doesn't E-Learning do the job?"Of course you can learn mobile with us! Simply download the software onto your laptop!" argued an exhibitor at the Learntech 2007. But everyone who has ever tried to work with a Notebook at a beach, knows its boundaries of mobility.  We believe that mobile learning means solutions that can be realized with the small devices of your daily life - barely larger than a candy bar and such an important contribution to your personal well-being that it can't possibly be missing from any coat pocket or purse.
Mobile Learning is a meaningful extension to other forms of learning, which speaks personally to the user and gives plenty of freedom in the aspects of time and place. Application ScenariosMobile Learning devices are available for all kinds of settings. You would be able to use the *faktenpauker* during your travelling time to prepare yourself for exams, use SMS-Coaching to put your knowledge into practice and the Crammy to prepare yourself for international meetings. Of course these are not all scenarios imaginable. With every client we enter a new and exciting area of application.

We are excited to see how you will contribute to this developement. There is still a lot to do!Today's technology offers a lot of possibilities.
