From Sue Franklin The University of Sydney and Roderick Sims Deakin University

"Interestingly, the articulated 'unique features' of m-learning (see details in box below) were reminiscent of the promises of computer-assisted learning promoted in the early 1980s and as such it is critical to ensure technology does not become the determinant of our future, but rather our servant. Similarly the 'limitations', 'potential uses' and 'applications' are nothing new - just different, and perhaps a more convenient means, by which information can be accessed."
