Whitepaper Mobile Solutions for the Education Industry
1. Mobile Solutions for the Education Industry
Transforming Learning and Teaching Experiences
2. Introduction
The role of mobile solutions within the higher education ecosystem is quite impressive. A well-integrated
strategy enables better collaboration and data sharing within the educational institutions and externally with
the students offers meaningful interactions with stakeholders.
The education industry finds itself on the tip of a revolution as conventional methods of learning and teaching
are rapidly replaced by high-tech learning & training. Today, teachers and students are dynamic and technology
savvy and they love to access learning resources from anywhere, anytime. This trend has redefined the entire
training and learning process and the way universities, colleges and educational organizations deliver learning
solutions.
As the learning process has started breaking barriers, it has become crucial for organizations engaged in
delivering learning solutions to adopt mobile solutions as a key tool to enable effective and powerful mobile
coaching and learning experiences for students as well as for the faculty. Consequently, many higher education
institutions give their mobility strategy the same level of importance as their other IT strategies because of its
ever growing requirements and immense potential.

6. 5-steps to Understand Mobility and its Impact
A Cygnet Infotech Whitepaper : Mobile Solutions for the Education Industry
Step -1
Capture
Mobile technology
lets you capture the
content (for example
lectures or study
material), resources
and engaging
conversations, which
contributes to the
ongoing learning
and support beyond
the scope of the
conventional
classroom.
Step -2
Distribution
After gathering the
learning resources
and interactions, they
can be easily
distributed through
the internet and
mobile technology to
the students, which
enables the concept
of anytime,
anywhere access to
the learning material.
Step -3
Interaction
Mobility will take the
interactions between
the students and
instructors beyond
the classroom while
allowing them to
manage and modify
the learning
resources and share
them on the go.
Step -4
Collaboration
With the mobile
technology,
collaboration would
be based on real and
practical ideas rather
than based on
information.
Step -5
Integration
The combination of
the mobile devices
and social media will
open the new doors
of opportunities for
the students to
contribute to the
contents, progress
and results of the
course by allowing
the integration of the
new ideas to take the
course to its next
level.
7. Student Satisfaction IncreasedWith MobileTechnology
Ongoing research suggests that bringing mobility to the education industry has helped students to meet their
ever growing demands. According to the recent survey conducted by the Campus Computing Project, more
than half of the public universities have enabled mobile apps or state they plan to opt for mobile solutions in the
coming year.
As per the Pearson Foundation numbers – 3 out of 5 children aged 12 to 15 now have a Smartphone.
Moreover, the figures show below clearly indicates that half of all children aged 5-15 have their own mobile
device and almost 28% of children aged 5-15 have their own Smartphone. In 2012, the overall mobile device
ownership has not seen any big change, but girls are more likely than boys to own a Smartphone (36% vs. 26%).
A Cygnet Infotech Whitepaper : Mobile Solutions for the Education Industry
8. A Cygnet Infotech Whitepaper : Mobile Solutions for the Education Industry
According to the most recent numbers from Pew Research, 99% of grad students and 96% of upgrades have
their own cell phone. Moreover, 93% of the grad students and 88% of the upgrades have their own laptops or
tablets. Today, 77% of teachers and 71% of students are using more technology and mobile devices in the
classroom than earlier. Along with this, 69% of the students reported that they are seeking more technology
into a classroom as a learning tool.
Smartphone ownership also increased among the children in C1 (34% vs. 20%) and C2 households (31% vs.
21%) as shown in the figure above. However, there is no significant change among the children in DE
households (44% vs. 54%).
9. A Cygnet Infotech Whitepaper : Mobile Solutions for the Education Industry
The emergence of m-Learning has opened up new doors of opportunities for schools and colleges. Mobile
solutions have easily addressed the critical challenges and issues of learning systems and have made
learning more effective, responsive and transformative. Let’s have a look at a few possibilities and
opportunities of enterprise mobility solutions in the education industry –
• Study material compatible with Smartphones and tablet devices - Students can easily access
learning material from their mobile devices and refer it anytime and anywhere, which helps them utilize
their dead time more effectively. Various m-Learning solutions, mobile quizzes and tools make it easy for
the students to understand the complex concepts on the go.
• Real-time information sharing - Ease of sharing information or study material makes it easy for the
teachers to identify and fulfill student’s growing requirements.
• Simplify the admission process - Mobile apps make it easy for the students to access the application
forms, college brochures, results and tons of other things at their fingertips.
New Doors Of Opportunity For Schools & Colleges
10. • Healthy interaction between the students and faculties through voice, text and chat
applications - It enables one-to-one interaction between a student and educator, which help
students to clear his/her doubts without any delay.
• Mobilized roster – It will help giant educational institutes to get rid of conventional and time
taking process of keeping records of the student’s attendance with mobile-based rosters.
• Mobile payment – Helps colleges or institutions collect fees from the students while simplifying the
payment process for the parents through college apps.
• Mobile alerts & notifications – Enable students to get alerts on surprise quiz, assignments, health
services or other events.
• Data collection – Mobile apps could be a great tool for the research-oriented learning as it enables
students to gather data on their mobile devices and then use different tools to share and process
the data further.

13. The Key Challenges
Of course, mLearning solutions bring tons of benefits for the students as well as for the colleges and universities,
but there are a few key challenges associated with it that need to be resolved in order to get maximum benefit
from enterprise mobility solutions for the education industry. Let’s take a look at the challenges:
• Single content for multiple mobile devices - Mobile devices come with different characteristics and
functionalities, which make it difficult to acquire a single content that is compatible with a whole host
of mobile devices available today.
• Poor bandwidth and coverage – To overcome the time and place constraints, it is must to improve the
bandwidth and coverage.
• Converting current education material and content into a mobile-friendly format could be quite tedious
and challenging task for the educational organizations.
• Copyrights and intellectual properties need more effective and strict guidelines.
