I joined Surrey University in
January 2008, from the global learning technology group
at PricewaterhouseCoopers, advising on adoption of
emerging technologies within learning. I recently
co-ordinated a series of eLearning projects to support
development of professional skills within eLearning.
I have a
personal blog and website, which I set up to document and share news or experiments with web
design, elearning and mobile learning.
Nicola's Top 10
(Mobile) Tools as at
2 August 2008
Utterz - voice
blogging on the go with publishing options on the spot.
Screenshot - taking still screenshots from a s60
phone, using one of the phone cameras - I use it to show
shots for experimenting and for showing how to do things
Find.mobi
- brilliant mobile search e.g. enter any
flight number in the search box and it will ping back
the current flight status. Provides web and mobile
web-friendly page searches.
Fring - Skype,AIM,GoogleTalk,MSN,SIP - see contacts
all in one place and who is online, with options to
chat/call/send files
Nokia
mobile Web Server & extensions - starting to play with
but finding useful, can blog, upload, IM, chat and
manage a mobile site from the phone (have to pay data
fees for transfer, according to your operator package).
Adobe mobile pdf reader - mostly using for work files
and articles I've bookmarked on del.icio.us which can be
read on the go.
Mobiseer - mobile bookmarking, tagging, sharing pages
(I would prefer to use mobilicious but that is not
looking too hopeful at the moment in terms of developing
it for further use)
OperaMini browser - free download and works on loads
of phones/devices - I use it as a backup for any
browsers I have on an older phone which for whatever
reason may format pages strangely (hasn't happened with webkit but earlier browsers on older phones).
