For over two years now, we have not only just been hearing about mobile learning but also actively understanding and working on it. This has been possible due to a variety of factors – better, faster, cheaper smartphones, the advent of tablet computers, and an increasing awareness of the benefits and applicability of mobile learning. In last many months we have written a number of blog posts around mobile learning ranging from development tips, general examples, tips and tricks, etc. number of these posts can be found at this link. Weaknesses. Due to lack of Flash. Threats. MORE >>

What actions/activities will need to be tracked? And if you are looking for some examples/use cases these posts provide those: Mobile Learning Innovation: Lookup To Healthcare For Inspiration. Mobile Learning (mLearning) Applications – An Example. Mobile learning is in the air. It’s the buzz word in training these days and you can’t escape all the noise surrounding it. At Upside Learning, we have been doing a fair bit of mobile learning for more than two years now. Recently we released an innovative mobile learning platform – Upside2Go. What is Mobile Learning.

So taking the main objectives apart and paste them with different sub learning objects with relevant learning activities. Again blogging live, so excuse me for short sentences, mistypes. First: what role do these mobile phones play in your strategy? MORE >>

There are already a number of training examples involving learner location and mobile devices. One example that comes to mind is MIT Environmental detectives. There are also a number of tour-like applications for museums and galleries where location is used to inform learners about exhibits, etc. For example, we can take an employee’s location and provide him or her with active directions during an orientation period.
