Phil’s project will investigate how and if students can use audio visual means to complete assessments using video capability of mobile handsets. The project will look at several key questions including the best practice in use and capability of G3 mobile handsets. Can such devices be used effectively by students? Do they help students engage with their learning? Are such technologies suited to a more visual/aural learning style? The project aims to use the capabilities of everyday technologies such as mobile phone handsets, to demonstrate new ways facilitate and promote student learning and engagement.

=What I have so far found?= At least File sizes are manageable!
 * 1) Camera quality is poor
 * 2) image size is also small
 * 3) length of the video is dependant on the handset
 * 4) voice recording isn't very clear as well
 * 5) .3gp format has to be converted to a format compatable with Microsoft to use in other applications. (does run in Quicktime)
