It seems mobile phones aren’t just for talking… or taking pictures… or surfing the internet… or texting… or… Jeez! The next market for cellphones to tap into is the classroom, or rather, IS the classroom. Resource Development International, the world’s largest independent provider of UK university distance learning qualifications, plans to offer the opportunity to earn a UK university degree using mobile phones. The program will be piloted in Africa where cellphone reception trumps internet access. I just wonder whether your tuition is put on your cellphone bill.
