The mobile phone is now a ubiquitous item even among the world’s poorest, and in fact over 70% of the mobile phones on the planet are in developing countries. With this in mind, this Mobile Learning Toolkit has been created to empower trainers in developing contexts to integrate mobile learning into their teaching. The 98‐page toolkit contains 15 mobile learning methods divided into 4 categories that trainers can choose from depending on their needs – whether they’re looking deliver content; assign tasks; gather feedback; or provide support to their training participants. These methods have been designed to be as inclusive as possible, with most requiring only low end devices (basic mobile phones with voice calling and SMS capability), allowing interactive learning experiences to be delivered right to the Base of the Pyramid.
The Mobile Learning Toolkit was developed by designer Jenni Parker as part of her master thesis on Mobile Learning for Africa, in collaboration with the ITC‐ILO (United Nations).
