The integration of mobile devices and free software most innovative modern
trends to meet the training needs of today's society: creativity, teamwork,
lifelong learning and open collaboration.

Within this framework, the m-Learning project EOI bid to experiment with
networking capabilities, ubiquity and multimedia production that enable the
next generation smartphone, on the one hand, and bases its development on the
open source system Android, on the other .

Starting next academic year 2009/2010 EOI [Escuela de Organización Industrial =
School of Industrial Organization] [Madrid / Spain] students will have a 3G
Android mobile phone to tap its potential as a learning tool and network
communication. Thus, both teachers and students can share educational resources
and communicate with each other anytime, anywhere.

In this sense, the EOI m-Learning project is another step in the adoption of
free software and backing for the social web that the School of Industrial
Organization has achieved in recent months. This process can be seen both in
terms of technological tools (with the integration of Moodle learning platform
and communication 2.0 on blogs, social networking and multimedia repositories)
as well as the research, with the recent publication of the report The
opportunity for free software: capabilities, law and innovation.
