Finnish Future: From eLearning to mLearning?

چکیده
The first part of the article is based on a book “The Challenges of ICT in Finnish Education” (Sinko&Lehtinen, 1999). That book describes results of national research about ICT in Finnish education. The project was divided into five sub-projects: universities (two sub-reports) edited by Jarmo Viteli; kindergartens and institutions of general and vocational education edited by Liisa Huovinen with the assistance of many reporters; lifelong learning, edited by Irene Hein; digital learning materials, written by Pekka Lehtiö. This article, which is aimed at an international readership, is based on the material of the whole project. The second part is introduction about mLearning (mobilelearning). Finland has been called the “experimental laboratory of information society and mobile communication” and as such it provides an interesting test case for exploring the use of information and communications technologies in education. The first results of mlearning activities will be available at
