LTT Global, one of the initiators of mobile learning in the Asia Pacific, makes acquiring knowledge fun, exciting, accessible and ffordable.

With a growing population of three billion mobile phone users, LTT Global is using the mobile device to make academic content available. LTT Global was recently honoured as one of the Top 50 Innovators (consumer application and service sector) at the GSMA Mobile Innovation Summit in Macau.

GSMA, the global trade association for mobile operators, set up the Mobile Innovation Programme to help small and medium-sized companies developing innovative mobile products and services reach mobile operators and bring their innovations to end users.

LTT Global has taken mobile learning to a new level with Video Eyewear. The Eyewear connects to almost any mobile device with video out and delivers a virtual display equivalent to a 62-inch screen viewed from about 3m.

The Eyewear coupled with mobile devices, such as Sony PSP and Nokia N95, make mobile learning fun.
In 2004, LTT Global started MobileEnglish, an English learning programme via mobile phone with web support, which is a certified course today by the Institute of Professional Development, Open University Malaysia.

It organised the First Asia Pacific Regional Mobile Learning Conference on Aug 7 in Kuala Lumpur and also mentored the team which won second place in the My Mobile Content Challenge 2007 organised by Maxis, Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission and the Ministry of Energy, Water and Communications on Oct 22.
