This week's Spark* is presented by NUTN's Corporate and Military Resource Group (CMRG). If you're interested in issues related to corporate and military partnerships in distance learning and educational technology, please be in touch with the CMRG chairs to let them know of your interest: Betty Keese (betty.keese@navy.mil), Carol Thompson (carol.r.thompson1@navy.mil), Theo Stone (tstone@umuc.edu).
Since the CMRG is presenting a Phone Forum this week on Mobile Learning ("mLearning") in higher education, here are a few mLearning resources to "spark" your thinking on the topic:
A good place to start is the Wikipedia entry on mLearning:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-learning
Going Nomadic: Mobile Learning in Higher Education, by Bryan Alexander, in EDUCAUSE Review [pdf]:
http://www.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/ERM0451.pdf
Learning on the Move: mLearning is Next, from Robin Good's blog
http://www.masternewmedia.org/news/2006/01/17/learning_on_the_move_mlearning.htm
Don't forget to register for Thursday's Phone Forum, during which your colleagues will be discussing questions like Does mLearning (mobile learning via cell phone, iPod, or PDA) have a place in higher education?; Is mLearning working? If so, what seem to be best practices? Feel free to respond to this email with your thoughts on any/all of these questions!
More information, including how to register, can be found at:

* What is The NUTN Weekly Spark? Each week, via the NUTN email list, one of our NUTN Resource Groups will send out an idea, a resource, a discussion starter, a challenge, or something else to get you thinking. We invite you to jump in and respond, or just glean whatever ideas and resources you can from each week's Spark.
