  I myself have never really understood people's need to carry a smartphone, laptop, and tablet, whether android or apple, all simultaneously. A smartphone to me can replace the tablet and computer for use on-the-go.

  The wide reach of users that a single person can reach out to and interact with on the Internet via networks is constantly growing. This is due to the fact that more and more people are learning to use online communities for their own purposes and convenience.

  By combining eLearning and in class methods, I believe that the most efficient means of instruction is reached.

  The super flexible layout of an online class is much more convenient to an abundance of students, allowing them to adjust their schedules and study time in accordance with their every day activities. Learning at one's own personalized pace is better than learning at a group pace.

  The only way that this method of instruction will catch on and be successful is if adjustments are consistently made when needed.

  This "backchannel" is the way I communicate with probably more than 90% of people.

Digital curation is nearly a necessity for dealing with information overload. Content curators scour the web for information on a particular topic, collect and filter the information for readers, and then maintain and update it.

  I never even considered those who had to update and monitor the means of mLearning. The amount of editing and constant change they have to work with must be overwhelming.

  I do support the belief that eLearning needs to be supplemented with face-to-face instruction, because the variances in lesson planning and deliverance will round the students' classroom experience.

  The key to mobile learning and its steadily increasing popularity is the fact that it can so easily be done on-the-go.

  It is astounding to me the way that we are able to connect via the world wide web in this day and age. Not only do we socialize using the Internet, but we teach ourselves and others things we would've never known. The advancement of technology to the point where a teacher can hold class thru a Skype chat, or a student can conduct research for work almost instantaneously.

  To me, the convenience of being able to learn on-the-go and utilize my tiny hand held computer has far more benefits than drawbacks. Despite the limited battery life, I don't find myself needing a longer one all that often, and the screen is large enough for a single person to use comfortably.

  I can relate to the manner in which we make use of newly developed technology. I have grown up with evolving technologies, and I know for a fact that I do not use my iPhone the way I used my first flip cell phone, and I do not listen to my iPod the way I used to listen to my CD player.

Most eLearning is designed for the learner to sit at a computer and progress through a specified amount of material for a period of time.

  I personally do not learn as well with this method. The pressure of making a specific amount of progress within a given amount of time would prevent me from gathering all that I can from the material.

Individuals don’t want to spend an hour staring at their phone just to complete one learning objective. Instead, mobile learning is ideal for conveying smaller chunks of information that can be absorbed while waiting for the bus, standing in line at the grocery store or located on or around a job site.

  By definition, I literally can find myself involved in the mLearning process multiple times on any given day. Not only am I quickly able to research anything I need, but I can look up virtually anything I may encounter on a daily basis that is new to me, so that I may further understand it.
