INTRODUCTION Education is one of the most singular powerful transformative force It promotes human rights and dignity aids in the eradication of poverty deepens sustainability, to build a better future for all Mobile devices and mobile technologies are significantly impacting the field of education. The dynamics of mobile computing is transforming the landscape of traditional classrooms IConETech-2020, Faculty of Engineering, The UWI, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago
OBJECTIVES Education and Country Development and Sustainability Mobile Computing in the classroom Pedagogy and Mobile Computing Design and Implementation for Mobile Learning IConETech-2020, Faculty of Engineering, The UWI, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago
DEVELOPED STATUS AND EDUCATION SIDS in the Caribbean can be classified as developing countries Developing countries as those that are working towards economic performance living standards sustainability equality that differentiates them from so-called developed countries. One of the driving forces behind achieving developed status is Education. IConETech-2020, Faculty of Engineering, The UWI, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago
DEVELOPED STATUS AND EDUCATION In developed countries the state usually subsidize the cost of tertiary education In the Caribbean SIDS only a small fraction of subsides are offered by the government. The high cost attached to higher education is a deterrent to enrolment in the Caribbean. IConETech-2020, Faculty of Engineering, The UWI, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago
METHODOLOGY Mobile Devices Mobile devices playing an increasing role in the classroom Devices such as smartphones, tablets and e-book readers give users instant access to information enables interactivity with others Applications on these devices allow content to be Consumed Discovered Produced IConETech-2020, Faculty of Engineering, The UWI, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago
METHODOLOGY Mobile Devices Mobile devices offers flexibility to postgraduate students Access anywhere Access anytime Educational institutions can offer course content on any platform Students are empowered since they control the rate of their learning IConETech-2020, Faculty of Engineering, The UWI, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago

INSTRUCTIONS PRESENTED With technology as part of the instructional process the teacher must choose methods that are relevant to the objectives The technology selected must be appropriate to The learning styles modes The pace of learning IConETech-2020, Faculty of Engineering, The UWI, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago
CARIBBEAN SIDS AND m-LEARNING Over the period 2012/2013 and 2016/2017 UWI, St. Augustine campus experienced a decline of average 8% in total student enrolment (on and off-campus). IConETech-2020, Faculty of Engineering, The UWI, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago
CARIBBEAN SIDS AND m-LEARNING Caribbean SIDS lag in tertiary education They mainly use conventional teaching methods Distance and flexible learning is the quickest route to widen access to tertiary education ICT is central to the global economy and society IConETech-2020, Faculty of Engineering, The UWI, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago
FUTURE OF m-LEARNING AND CARIBBEAN SIDS SIDS need to embrace technology and its great potential Move in the direction of fully integrating it into the total learning system Making m-learning a success at the University of the West Indies campuses is an attainable goal IConETech-2020, Faculty of Engineering, The UWI, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago
