Mobile technology will play an increasingly important role in the delivery of UK higher education in the future.

What does this mean for UK higher education institutions and their members? What is the likely impact on:

• the student experience
• teaching and learning
• research
• computing service provision
• libraries, and
• value for money?

The Eduserv Symposium 2010 drew together the latest thinking and activity in this changing landscape. Delegates discovered the kinds of applications that mobile technology enables and their implications for the way we deliver teaching and learning, research, and support services in the future.

Registration for the event was free and included access to the day’s talks, lunch and refreshments and an invitation to the wine reception, where people could network with their peers and discuss the issues covered during the day.
