I thought I understood mLearning. Or at least I thought I did–because categorizing mLearning is like me trying to call myself spiritual. For a long time, I’d been thinking about mLearning as “learning for a mobile device.” And I waved mLearning aside as being “too cool.” I have spent my time working for organizations that are at the trailing edge of the technology curve, so why would I worry about mLearning? eLearning has meant deployment of training on specific company pcs, not an ipad or a cell phone. Plus, I have had a lot of assumptions about mLearning–for example, designing learning for a cell phone is much different than designing learning for a tablet, so how could they be lumped together?
it’s about flexible and responsive design.
