| THE MOBILE LEARNER MAY 25, 2012 Mobile Devices: Breaking Through the Walled Garden I am a fan of the HowStuffWorks podcast “Stuff You Should Know” Recently, I listened to the episode titled, “What’s The Future of the Internet” and the discussion on net neutrality and the walled garden of devices got me thinking about how device and OS manufacturers are restricting our experience of the Internet and the implication this could have to learning in general and mobile learning in particular.

Check out these previous posts on Apps for the future and Google vs Apple to see where I was coming from. And as the field of mobile platforms continues to get more competitive, we will see some platforms gain strength and some lose strength. | | | | | | | |

MLEARNING IS GOOD | WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2009 Are Apps the Future of Mobile Learning?
This task is made more complicated because of the variety of mobile devices that learners within organizations may have, whereas manufacturers like Apple can target only the devices they create. If the devices are standardized, organizations can create their own app stores and leverage the app stores of the manufacturers they choose to go with. As a developer, you constantly look for the “next big thing&#. Most of us will probably admit that there can be more than one of those “big things&#. Much organizational learning is unique in what it teaches. MORE >>
