Dan Sodergren of Great Marketing Works, added, "Learning through mobile phones is massively important as there are now five billion phones in the world. The most exciting element of e-learning is engaging people to use these tools by marketing them in a fun and positive way, so people actually use them."

The panel also identified that educators must embrace all aspects of mobile learning, from the use of applications to capturing an image or video at the point of inspiration. Michael added, "We're very much involved in delivering learning through the mobile and are now making apps for the likes of iPods and iPhones. We have created I Am Learning, a games-based, revision assessment system, and are really excited about being able to take that from the desktop to the device.

"The most important element, which is a huge difficulty for educators and people developing in these areas, is bringing this all together. Although I've accessed it on my iPhone I still need to have centralised resources so I can access it on my desktop. It is creating the amalgamation of everything I've done through a range of technological devices in one place."
