You will need a smart phone

Your phone will need to functionno good thing ever dies like a very small computer, so you'll need a higher-end smart phone with some good apps (word processing,

spreadsheet, PDF reader, etc.).Just have a little faith You'll use the web-browsing and other capabilities of your phone to log into course web sites, read assignments,

take tests, and send emails. Remember, you'll have to pay for data access, which can add $25-$50 a month over regular charges.You will need

to get used to reading text onput all this behind us your phone's screen.How many pages can you read on a screen? If the average page of printed text on an 8 1/2

by 11 sheet of paper is 250 words, the amount of text that can be squeezed onto a mobile screen will obviously be some small fraction of that.

You could be in for a lota plan to make all of this right of scrolling on your phone's screen.You will need to get used to typing documents on that tiny keyboard.Typing short

text messages or even emails on a phone keyboard is one thing. But what about typing an academic paper of 10 pages? That could become

quite a challenge for even the most nimble-fingered mobile scholar.Plug in those headphones. Many online courses have turned to audio and

video lectures to deliver theirvaguely familiar to you course materials. And here is where a phone could really come in handy. The video and audio quality on today's

smart phones is quite high. Watching a full lecture on your phone, assuming your phone and data connection can handle it, could be quite a

pleasant experience.Anyone with a smart phone will tell you there are still connectivity issues. Some phones require a wi-fi connection to

download large files with any type of speed. You'll need to keep this in mind as you plan your "degree on the phone" curriculum. With some

smart downloading though, you'll be able to manage your files in a way so that you're not stuck without content when you have timehttp://www.slofly.com
