Vodafone has joined a classroom study of Northwestern University in Qatar (NU-Q) that will explore the potential for mobile education tools in Qatar. A total of eight NU-Q students are researching the market for mobile tools in higher education, as well as how those tools are used in the learning process. The study, which will be carried out in collaboration with Vodafone, is part of a 14-week course designed by NU-Q lecturer Giovanni Bandi.
Dalya al-Khalaf, Vodafone’s director of Strategy and Planning, noted: “Vodafone Qatar is participating with Northwestern University in Qatar in a study to identify the best digital tools to improve the learning process as well as the students’ engagement with their universities. We hope to learn which student needs can be satisfied with mobile technologies. We will use these results to drive future Vodafone Qatar investments in the field of mobile-based education solutions.”
