Mobile Platforms and mLearning: Challenges and Solutions by Bill Brandon

Get ahead of the curve with concrete information about how to get started, the tools that are available, and future trends and directions. Sometimes you have to be patient – but while you are practicing patience, it may also be a good idea to do some preparation. Such is the case with mLearning. Editor’s Note: Parts of this article may not format well on smartphones and smaller mobile devices. We recommend viewing on larger screens.

I think I know what’s going on. For me, as for others, the Net is becoming a universal medium, the conduit for most of the information that flows through my eyes and ears and into my mind.
