In a previous post I linked to a presentation by John Traxler , focusing on the discrepancy between current mLearning projects constructed by the mLearning research community that are often lacking rigorous evaluation and sustainable options, and the mobile corporate world pushing for scalable, sustainable mobile projects that are based on pragmatic, transparent facts. The video below is provided by the University of Kwazulu-Natal , the recording can be downloaded from their seminar website here. and so on. MORE >>
