The SANAKO Study Mobile Module presents a unique opportunity for schools to make use of the NOKIA N810 Internet Tablet in ways that make them relevant to both learning and teaching. The module is added to a SANAKO Study installation in order to allow the teacher to integrate the N810 devices into the same teacher interface as they use for all other existing student desktops and laptops within the school.
The SANAKO Study Mobile Module allows teachers and students to use digital technology to enhance all aspects of learning – our solution is more than the technology alone. Students and teachers can use the module in a number of creative and effective ways to enhance their personal learning activities whether at home, in school or on the move. The SANAKO Study Mobile Module encourages further personalisation of learning and enhances the role of students by allowing them to take more responsibility for learning outcomes.
