ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the use of podcasts since their inception at University Campus Suffolk (UCS), to their current use alongside other multimedia solutions, and the introduction of more recent mobile learning technologies such as smartphones and tablets. It argues that there is disquiet among nursing academics over the plethora of learning and mobile technologies in a curriculum where care and compassion for people remain the main focus. Mobile learning is becoming an integral part of the educational landscape. The Higher Education Academy (HEA) promotes the development of university staff in the UK, and also the use of learning technologies via a programme titled 'Changing the Learning Landscape' which states that the workshops offer the chance "to explore how learning technologies can enhance their work in practical and creative ways". When considering innovation and sustainability, it is important to take into account the context of mobile learning within healthcare education, and in particular for UCS, nursing education.
