Heavy

so
last-‐century.
I’m
going
for
the
Pico

a

The
outcome
is
a

To

this

to
start
an
app,
call

so
that

Navfree

73. Medical
mobile
apps
that
can
be
used
offline
–
where

is
not
available
• Medical
Recorder
doctors

75. The
smart
phone
could
provide
the
answer
to
educa(ng
those
in
remote
areas,
as
tested
by
the
University
of
Pretoria.
Research
carried
out
by
the
university
indicated
that
96%
of
the
distance
educa7on
students
had
access
to
mobile
phones,
while
only
1%
had
access
to
the
internet
at

76. mLearning
vs.
eLearning
Mobile
learning
on
Smart
Phones
differs
from
e-‐learning
on
computers
in
that
ac(vi(es
are
not
set
in
one
place
and
can
be
conducted
at
any
(me
and
at
any
place.
77. mLearning
Africa
There
are
barriers
to
mobile
learning
in
Africa,
such
as
illiteracy
levels,
access
issues
(remote
areas
and
price
factors)
and
a
gender
gap
(more
men
have
mobile
phones
than
women).
However,
thanks
to
the
availability
of
solar
power
and
mobiles
running
on
much
less
power
than
computers,
educa(on
through
mobile
phones
is
becoming
a
great
possibility
to
help
those
formerly
excluded
from
educa(onal
opportuni(es.
If
Smart
Phone
technology
is
developed
in
a
robust,
low
cost
manner,
more
and
more
Africans
will
con(nue
to
take
advantage
of
this
informa(on
technology
and
new
and
exci(ng
learning
styles
available
to
them.
78. Windows
Smart
Phones
• Windows
Phone
already
has
a
strong
presence
in
Africa
with
devices
from
HTC,
Samsung,
and
Nokia.
In
fact,
another
part
of
this
broad
4Afrika
ini(a(ve
is
a
joint
Nokia
and
Microsou
customer
training
program
in
Kenya
and
Nigeria
to
help
accelerate
adop(on
of
Nokia
Lumia
510
and
620
phones.
• More
than
90%
of
phones
sold
today
in
those
markets
are
feature
phones,
so
Microsou
and
Nokia
are
teaming
up
to
provide
free
in-‐store
training
for
customers
to
help
them
get
the
most
from
their
new
Lumias
and
manage
their
new
