These are the developments that have made mobile devices strategic tools with the capacity to deliver higher education instruction in a way that was never anticipated when the first prototypes of these devices were designed and marketed. Designers can deliver successful higher education products to the present generation of learners, by means of a technology, distinctively adapted for its own personal (mostly social) purposes. This makes technology a
particularly potent tool for the delivery and reinforcement of content that would otherwise be identified with the higher education “establishment”. Devices “such as mobile phone and mp3 players have grown to such an extent over recent years and are gradually replacing personal computers in modern professional and social context” (Attewell & Savill-Smith, 2005). Modes of communication that were spontaneously developed by the younger generation have been subverted to serve the purposes of transmitting higher education. Such structural changes in the
delivery of higher educational instruction add a powerful tool to the arsenal of available means that educators can use to make delivery more efficient, personal and culturally acceptable to those who pioneered these new modes of text delivery (Fullan, 2007).
