5. Conclusion
Technological developments in ubiquitous and mobile computing offer possibilities to all levels of education and, due to their non-reliance on traditional communications infrastructure, they offer emerging countries an opportunity to jump ahead. Exactly how these technologies should best be used in education, however, is not completely clear at this time. It is important that further work be done in evaluating potential uses of mobile computing in education. This focus group recommends that TC3 set up a Task Force on mobile learning to conduct these investigations.
