The potential for mobile devices, including tablet computers, to enhance learning in Scottish schools is to be explored by Education Scotland.

Ten local authorities, almost 20 schools and hundreds of pupils are already using a range of devices, including iPads at Sciennes Primary School in Edinburgh and Android technology at Morgan Academy in Dundee.

Education Scotland will be taking stock of how such schemes are working and will consider how they could be used on a wider scale.
