Topic : School in the clouds by Prof. Sugata Mitra
From this assignment, I've learned that...
Adoption of electronic learning (e-learning) is not new in today’s education system. In the realm of tertiary education, the requirement for online learning is of great relevance in line with the society needs to have tertiary education due to the constraint of campus capacity. This needs to the emergence of more friendly e-learning which is more compatible to any electronic devices and more mobile. In the general case mobile learning (m-learning) can be defined as any form of teaching and learning that happens when the users is interacting through a mobile device such as PDA, palmtop, i phone, handheld computers, smart phone or other gadgets. Malaysia should be considered ready to move on to wireless era where more and more areas especially in campus, have been already provided with wi-fi services.

WHAT IS SCHOOL IN THE CLOUDS?
The School in the Cloud platform helps students prepare for the future by using Self-Organised Learning Environments (SOLE). We spark students’ imagination and creativity by asking Big Questions or connecting them with a global team of volunteer mediators known as Grannies. Learning happens spontaneously in these purposefully chaotic environments.
The first School in the Cloud learning lab is located in Killingworth, England and is run by a board of twelve-year old students. The School is essentially an online platform that connects learning labs to “Skype Grannies” (retired teachers who volunteer their time to provide support and encouragement to students over Skype), and also serves as a shared database for SOLE practitioners, as the school generates and houses an evolving library. In short, it is a learning space where peer support and collaboration dictate both the objectives and success of the learners.
