    Principal focus of the project: 

    The focus of the project was to improve retention on Media Makeup courses by  exploring the use of mobile phones by learners for planning learning and use them in class to make notes and take pictures/video of their work.

    What is this about and what were the main findings: 

    The college invested in a range of mobile (software) techologies for use by learners on their own phones. Some internal development work and training was required to introduce staff and learners to the technology (particularly data/image capture and transfer).
    Impacts included improved retention (27.5% increase). Better IT skills (staff and learners) and greater collaboration. Data was gathered from interviews/surveys and participant observations.
