I came across this news item today and thought it might be worth a mention.
Isis Forensics http://www.isis-forensics.com/ have developed a tool after parental concerns over children accessing sites on their mobiles. Although the App has been received positively a number of child protection groups warn against complacency.
As yet I can't work out if the App has been released or which platforms it will be available on.
"The team behind Child Defence say the app can analyse language to generate an age profile, identifying potential paedophiles".
BBC. (2011). Researchers launch mobile device 'to spot paedophiles'. Available: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-12249172. Last accessed 24th Jan 2011. google_protectAndRun("ads_core.google_render_ad", google_handleError, google_render_ad);
Thinking lateraly I can see this App being of benefit to learning providers who educate and care for vunerable learners.
