Embedded use of both e-learning and mobile and wireless technologies can enable an institution to become a wireless hub of learning.
Mobile devices used within a wireless network can substantially increase the range and immediacy of learning-related activities and assist institutions in more efficient management of learning. Increasing availability of local wireless networks in public places and personal wireless networks in the home will make e-learning resources more widely and easily available. This increased flexibility of access will need to be reflected in the institution itself.
The case study Changing to a wireless worldshows how an institution can begin to transform its relationship with its learners through the use of wireless technologies in the management of learning. Where managers of library and learning resource centres have also adopted flexible, learner-centred policies, the institution is further enabled to meet changes in pedagogy and learners' expectations.
