Deb Polson who talked at the Xmdia Labs event I went to yesterday mentioned the MILK project: mobile informal learning kit.
Looks interesting.

I went to the Xmedia Labs conference ‘Learning from Games’ today. Some interesting bits.
Superstar game developer Noah Falstein gave some great insights into Serious Gaming. He showed us a game where kids with cancer learn about their illness, and the effects of chemotherapy on their bodies, by playing a cool game where they run around a virtual body killing cancer cells.
Deb Polson showed the great things they were doing in Melbourne at the Australian Centre for Interaction Design She showed us a location-based learning game for kids which integrated various technologies around a treasure hunt activity in Melbourne’s city centre.
Caryl Shaw gave us a demo of Will Wright’s much anticipated Spore click for YouTube video
But for me the best bit was Nokia’s Jyri Salomaa talking about how they will offer Nokia’s platform as open source. I reckon Nokia will start something big in mobile learning soon in Asia. Watch this space.
