Ericsson with Coventry University brings Learning to the Mobile Age

Ericsson, in collaboration with Coventry University, has announced that it is set to bring learning to the mobile age. Ericsson will make it possible for teachers to give live lessons to up to a half-million students online. From their smartphones, students can listen and interact with the lecturer and tutors who are also online.

This is a cloud service that is based on IMS architecture: IP Multimedia Subsystem and the service In-Game communication from Ericsson, which provides voice experience for users. By basing the In-Game solution on Ericsson’s IMS product portfolio, services can be scaled for a potentially unlimited number of users, with telecom-grade availability and security.

Tim Luft, Director, Serious Games Institute, said, "We wanted to work with Ericsson to transform our current range of mobile applications into an interactive experience for our many thousands of mobile learners. Many people who now take short courses on their mobiles have been limited to static images and recorded audio or video. We want to change that, and we hope that the expertise provided by Coventry University and Ericsson will help to improve the experience of our learners by allowing them to interact in a number of ways, perhaps by listening to a live keynote speech through a smartphone or sharing course notes with a tutor."

Magnus Furustam, Head of Core & IMS, Business Unit Networks, Ericsson, said, "Gaming for entertainment has been a driver for hardware and software technology for the last 10 years, and younger generations are familiar with how to use it. Together with Coventry University, we will combine our forethought in gaming technology with education, and take online education to a new dimension."
