The integration of mobile devices and free software most innovative
modern trends to meet the training needs of today's society:
creativity, teamwork, lifelong learning and open collaboration.
Within this framework, the m-Learning project EOI bid to experiment
with networking capabilities, ubiquity and multimedia production that
enable the next generation smartphone, on the one hand, and bases its
development on the open source system Android, on the other .
Starting next academic year 2009/2010 EOI [Escuela de Organización
Industrial = School of Industrial Organization] [Madrid / Spain]
students will have a 3G Android mobile phone to tap its potential as a
learning tool and network communication. Thus, both teachers and
students can share educational resources and communicate with each
other anytime, anywhere.
In this sense, the EOI m-Learning project is another step in the
adoption of free software and backing for the social web that the
School of Industrial Organization has achieved in recent months. This
process can be seen both in terms of technological tools (with the
integration of Moodle learning platform and communication 2.0 on
blogs, social networking and multimedia repositories) as well as the
research, with the recent publication of the report The opportunity
for free software: capabilities, law and innovation.
