VoIP as a Facilitator for mLearningThe potential to use was evaluated in the ViCaDiS Project as follows:

1. Audio and Video Communication and conferences with Mobile Devices

The potential and probability of use is on reasonable high level. Lets spread the results in a normalised diagram (description) to see how answers are related to each others.

The first development activities should concentrate on:

• Audio and Video Communication and conferences with Mobile Devices

Commenting/Discussion subjects
