Re: [WikiEducator] Playing flash videos on your iPad
Hi Balqis You are correct Android supports flash videos. Unfortunately Apple iPad/iPhone doesn't so this is a way around it. HTML5 video provides the capability to deliver alternative formats - we'll have to wait and see how this develops. Cheers Michael.

Re: [WikiEducator] BYOD Bring Your Own Device working group?
nowadays the concept of teaching has totaly changed after the introduction of virtual learning in schools. because now internet has become cheap, available in most of the village, also government has been trying to give better and quality education in a very affordable cost. The devices related to computer like laptop, netbook, tablet are become easy to purchase. If we could make the lessons to read in ebook format, then it would be a trtremendous change in education. sreekumar On Sun, Jun 17, 2012 at 3:55 PM, Valerie Taylor vtay...@gmail.com wrote: Perhaps now would be a good time to set up a BYOD Bring Your Own Device working group to address using mobile, personal and pocket devices in open learning.

[WikiEducator] Re: BYOD Bring Your Own Device working group?
Thanks for your interest. I can set up an area for information and discussion in WikiEducator. However, I'm wondering what to call it. It depends on the focus so how narrow shall we make it? BYOD is specific to what students would own of their own but most aren't open. Perhaps this is a bit limiting. Mobile learning is pretty broad. Does this cover everything?
