A couple of weeks ago I started to structure an idea I had on organizing an MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) on the subject of mLearning. It will be an open and free course, so anyone with an interest in mobile learning can join, the course will be in English and incorporate a lot of social media that is accessible via smartphones, tablet pc's and computers. It will emphasize the possibilities of using mobile devices for educational or training purposes (basic cell-phones, to smartphones, mp3 players, tablet pc's,). The date will follow later as well, but. we are well on our way. MORE >>

In fact, like Brian Fling (expert in mobile design, so connect to his media to stay updated) mentioned on his blogpost on html5 anatomy : "if you know HTML , then chances are you’ll understand what’s new in HTML5 in under an hour." Teach yourself html5 For those of you with html5 expertise, simply take the free, online html5 course offered by W3C. And one focuses on mobile html (great tool!), MORE >>
