After nearly a year of leave, I've returning to the topic of training young adults with what they have "in their pocket," their mobiles. I now have the chance to rework the statistical analysis!
I've also returned to class at Stanford. My thesis is on a topic related to my India research. It is training people via smartphones.
Slides are here.
My research is on the intersection of government support for mobiles for informal learning and the goal of increasing per person productivity via this informal learning. A specific example of government support include statements in education policy documents supporting mobiles and learning. Another example is the creation (and financing) of mobile learning platforms. I will also examine government regulation on wireless carriers, do governments ensure they are operating in competitive ways (for cheaper mobile bandwidth)?
