Great news: mLearn 2011 is able to subsidise the registration fees of a number of delegates to the conference. These subsidies are made possible by a generous fund that mLearn 2011 has received from Beijing Normal University. mLearn 2011 is grateful for this opportunity to support delegates from especially the developing world as well as early career researchers. We also wish this fund makes it possible for the mLearn 2011 to be inclusive of all people who are working in the field of mobile learning.
