Mobile Technology
The majority of people now have access to a mobile phone or
other mobile device. As a result of this, it is logical that
learning will become embedded into mobile technologies over the
coming months and years.
Many existing online applications are now become available to
use on handheld devices, even less powerful ones. Services such as
Google Reader work both on mobile devices and on a standard
computer, which allows you to subscribe to and read RSS news feeds
either at your desk or on the go.
QR Codes
One
technology currently being piloted in the College is QR (Quick
Response) codes. These are small barcodes (like the image to the
right) which can store information or link to pages. These may
sound strange at the minute but usage is expanding rapidly.
For more information about the codes, how they work, what they
can be used for and how you can use them, see this page dedicated to the subject.
