Abstract
For some time now, a global shortage of teachers has, for many, limited the opportunities for access to a proper education. The problem is greatest in sparsely populated areas, but frequently occurs even in places with a high density of potential students, as well as individuals with knowledge that could benefit those students. This is especially true for practical skills, such as bike repair and construction, and language learning, where even those lacking a formal education may be able to effectively train others. Mobile devices are becoming increasingly pervasive, even in places where a strong educational infrastructure has not been developed. By leveraging these devices, we can connect students and instructors on a schedule that is convenient to both parties. Using their location-sensing and data-transmitting capabilities, these devices can facilitate in-person instruction, transmit electronic study aids, examinations, and correspondence, and provide a very rich learning experience at minimal cost.
