New Oriental Education and Technology Group (EDU) has entered into an agreement with Nokia (NOK) to launch a mobile learning initiative that will give students access to select New Oriental course content via their mobile phones.

"As the world leader in mobile communications, Nokia's goal is to continuously bring new innovative applications to the market," said Marko Vanska, director of Nokia Emerging Business Unit, China. "We have seen a big growth potential for mobile learning market in China. By working together with New Oriental, the leading education service provider in China, Nokia strives to enrich consumers' learning experiences anytime, anywhere in a most convenient way with their mobile phone."

Under the one-year agreement, New Oriental will provide specially designed English language and test preparation course content for download on both the Mobiledu.cn website and New Oriental's online learning site Koolearn.com. Mobile learning content will be available in selected new Nokia mobile phones with the educational programs pre-installed.
