Building an m-learning community with free access

Che Metcalfe (Kukan Studios) gave an interesting presentation to the m-learning Learnscope team last Friday 15 June, at Adelaide TAFE on how to build an m-learning community using free mobile phone network access using Podmo (http://www.podmo.com/) – a free access mobile phone network offering local search, maps, content and free Instant Messaging all within a secure local community).

He described how TAFE SA could become a Podmo Free Zone where students could access m-learning content for FREE! Using templates, staff and students could easily upload and download content within any Podmo Free Zone (ie UniSA, CIBO coffee shops, Adelaide Railway Station, and hopefully soon to be: TAFE SA trial campuses (TTG, Adelaide, Regency, O’Hallorahan) Adelaide Festival Centre, Adelaide Convention Centre and along the Torrens riverbank.)

Hi All,

Have downloaded the podmo server but cant get my bluetooth on my laptop to work. Have downloaded Podmo onto my phone. Have tried to find a free 3gp converter but all of the so called free ones are limited use so have not had much success yet. am working on it and i might go to one of the IT shops and get a dongle to get the blue tooth working so i can play.

Geeeeeessss this techno stuff can be frustrating. lucky i am a stayer!!

The site i told you about for free podcast loops now charges for their stuff. its www.bbm.net. there are some other but i keep getting hit with the content blocker. will look them up at home and let you know some.
