Joichi Ito, who will take over as the Media Lab’s director next month, stresses how well the new center will contribute to the Lab’s research themes. “The Media Lab has always been about creativity – not only developing new technologies, but getting them out to the world in ways that positively impact people’s lives,” said Ito. “Our new Center for Mobile Learning continues this tradition, empowering people everywhere to create, invent, and learn with their mobile devices.”
