  • Abstract
    The m-Learning project will develop prototype products to provide information and modules of learning via inexpensive portable technologies which are already owned by, or readily accessible for, the majority of EU young adults. The products seek to attract young adults to learning and assist in the development and achievement of lifelong learning objectives. M-Learning´s tat-get audiences are young adults who are not in education or training (including the unemployed), and those who are mobile, casual/temporary/self-employed or in low paid/low skill employment, with literacy or numeracy development needs.
