Mathematics Support and New Technologies

We believe that in a few years’ time many people (perhaps a majority of “net generation” students) will have a combination of a 3G mobile ‘phone with broadband internet, a video iPod, a Play Station Portable and an Ultra Mobile Personal Computer (UMPC). It will be small enough to fit in your pocket, but large enough to display video, text files containing mathematics and allow interaction such as computer-assisted assessment and digital games.
