It is a mistake to try to implement a
full "course" as an mLearning application, or to think of
mLearning as classic asynchronous eLearning but on a smaller screen.
In order to avoid this, designers must think through their
instructional strategy (how to effectively combine the various
modalities and platforms) and their implementation strategy (it may
be better to start with performance support via mobile than to start
with delivery of instruction).
You can get a lot of help in this
effort from the Mobile
Learning: Landscape and Trends report itself. It will give
you unbiased information about the issues, the tools, and the
experience of many organizations as they implement mLearning.
In the next two weeks, Learning
Solutions Magazine will offer features on implementing mLearning.
On June 14, The Guild’s Thought Leader Seminar will feature Gary
Woodill, speaking on “The
Mobile Learning Edge: How Learning on the Move Can Be A Competitive
Advantage.”
