KEY TRENDS - MOBILITY
-
Educators in Asia-Pacific are not reluctant to use mobile devices in the classrooms. A recent survey revealed that educators strongly believe that the proliferation of mobile devices is already having a positive impact, and influencing the way instruction is delivered to students.
The study conducted by Adobe, “Transforming Education with Mobile and Digital Technology,” polled more than 1,000 educators in 13 across the region. Seventy-seven percent of educators from Asia-
Pacific felt that there was a positive overall net effect to having mobile devices strategically integrated into the teaching process.
Digital News Asia Chinese fingerprint on smartphone trends in Malaysia, Singapore
Among the key takeaways from a recent briefing by market research and analyst firm IDC
(International Data Corporation) on the Malaysian smartphone market is that Malaysians have changed their preference for what form factor they prefer.
The increasing reliance of Malaysians on their smartphones for web browsing, messaging , games, and video has resulted in them gravitating towards phones that provide them a certain level of viewing and holding comfort.
