Abstract
Understanding how to move with the times and build curricula that use mobile technologies has been an emerging challenge for educators worldwide. This chapter explores not only the efficacy of mobile technologies in delivering online curricula but considers how you may use mobile Information Technology (IT) devices in class to enhance face-to-face teaching. This chapter presents the argument that students still require some focused attention; hence there is a danger of overusing mobile devices for online delivery, yet, with careful tutoring, the use of mobile devices can in fact enhance pedagogical outcomes in courses that require continual updating and benefit from the exploration of case studies.
