Mobile technology is used to improve higher education assessment techniques and student skills

Nine hundred students in the north of England are about to take part in a project to use mobile phones to learn and be assessed on their coursework.

The Assessment and Learning in Practice Settings (ALPS), a collaborative programme between five higher education institutions, is running the first major project to use mobile technology to improve higher education assessment techniques and student skills.

The 900 health and social care students will be given T-Mobile MDA Varios for mobile learning and assessments during work placements.
