More recently, the conversation has shifted from purchasing computers to purchasing mobile devices. | MOBLEARN JANUARY 17, 2011  Mobile stats for 2010 and 2011 good rule of thumb is that “the more financially viable, the more accurate the stats”. I can’t help but be bowled over when I try to get my head around exactly how many people are doing useful tasks on their phones. Many of the stats are by their nature skewed. So if you want to know mobile internet usage in Ghana – you will struggle. | | | | | |
| IGNATIA WEBS APRIL 12, 2013  A low-cost pay-as-you-attend educational model for education 'As the West or North is looking for new ways to finance the shift that is taking place in education (MOOCs and Higher Education), it would feel logical to me that inclusive education will be born in developing regions, hopefully bringing along financial options that can help people in the West or North that are increasingly fighting poverty and seclusion from educational resources. | THE MOBILE LEARNER APRIL 9, 2012  Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) – Being Practical About Mobile Learning While some may critique that BYOD shifts the financial burden of cost from school districts to already financially burdened families, I would argue that if families are already shouldering that burden, why not let students use the devices to support their own learning?

STEP, StarLogo TNG , StarLogo , Scratch , Logo etc) So – while saddened by the implication that there will be less Google financial investment in it, I cannot think of a better new home for what seems to be a powerful tool for learners. A year ago, Google released App Inventor – a fascinatingly visual, albeit rather buggy tool for developing android apps. Often a sign of a project’s demise. | UPSIDE LEARNING DECEMBER 9, 2010  Three Ways to Use Mobile Devices in Workplace Learning Many an attempt at proving the ROI of training programs have been misplaced financial calculations at best, as they don’t really take into account the real impact a training program makes in contributing to business performance. Mobile learning is certainly a hot discussion topic with elearning and training solutions providers in Australia – like anywhere else in the world. | | | | | | | |

IGNATIA WEBS | MONDAY, AUGUST 18, 2008  My top 5 list of agonising eLearning Myths
It demands a financial investment in hard- and software (the latest can be kept to a minimum), infrastructure and last but not least in teachers, tutors, developers. Through the last decade some myths got their paws on eLearning. And although a lot of us try to get these myths banned, they keep popping-up whenever I have an introduction talk on eLearning. Because these myths keep on roaring their ugly heads, I have written down my top 5 list of agonising eLearning myths to use them in a small booklet I am working on. also added my short reply to these mythical questions. Not at all! MORE >> -
IGNATIA WEBS | THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 2010  Beware critics of Connectivism ! Or how I feel connectivism opens up content creation and access
The content is not financially elitist. In 2008 I enrolled in the CCK connectivism course. It was the first time I took such a mass course and … I liked it, though I could not really say why I liked it. In 2009 I wanted to follow the second run through of the course, but due to time restraints (buying a house, taking a master, full-time job) I just could not cope and so the intention stayed just that. What was surprising was that many of the people who critiqued it, actually were experienced researchers, yet they did not actually follow the course itself. The content is open. MORE >> -

MOBLEARN | TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 2013 Building your own apps? Try these top tips!
The nice thing about building educational apps is that the financial models for them are different to normal consumer apps. Many thousands of people are developing apps. Many of those apps fail dismally to achieve what the original vision holders hoped for. How can you increase the odds that your app will be used by, and useful for many? The answer: learn from the gurus. Listen to those who have done it many times before. Success is judged by how useful they are, as opposed to the revenue generated by shifting millions of copies. What's the connection with our top tips? MORE >>
