Emerging M Education Model Utilizing Wireless Internet Technologies

This paper examines the impact of the proposed Mobile Education Model (MEM) on enhancement of educational access and academic quality in traditional university environment through implementation of emerging wireless technologies. By 2003, more than have of all Internet access will be wireless, and the number of people using wireless Web will reach over 200 million by 2005. Proposed M-Education Model represents an entirely new paradigm whereby students enrolled in the traditional classroom setting (as opposed to an online mode) would greatly benefit from an added wireless solutions infrastructure allowing them to perform many academic transactions at any time and from many places seamlessly, interactively, and efficiently.
