Here on the last day of the year, I offer my predications for the big and shaping trends we’ll see in the enterprise mobile learning space for 2012. So, in no certain order, here are my predictions… 1. Summary. | MLEARNING TRENDS MARCH 27, 2011  New mLearning Authoring Tools – Wave #2 Articulate expects to issue a select number of public beta invitations sometime in the latter part of Q2 and we’re hoping to participate and provide active feedback for these new tools as they prepare to come to market.

A.K.A. How our January 2010 Predictions Played Out! Validated (“Double”). Batter up | MLEARNING TRENDS DECEMBER 31, 2012  My 2012 Enterprise mLearning Predictions Recap This recent post suggests more tablets were received/activated on Christmas Day than smartphones fueled by our sustained interest in gadgets to help inform, entertain and hopefully educate us in times of need. Here’s the analysis of how it all played out. Prediction #1 - Mobile Learning Goes Mainstream. Or perhaps this is more a case of the classic “frog in boiling water” scenario. Bullseye. | MLEARNING TRENDS JANUARY 10, 2010 Picking the "Right" Smartphone for mLearning Everyone talks about how smartphones are really "pocket computers" -- and to some extent they are -- but the reality is some of the older mobile device still in active service are more akin to an early Osborne 1 luggable portable PC (circa 1981) than they are to a sleek and powerful mordern Dell Precision laptop or Apple Macbook Pro.
