Pew Research indicates poor and drop outs trend towards cell phones for information. (No surprise).  

What are instructional design considerations to keep in mind when desiging mobile learning for pay-as-you-go learning populations?  What are accessible m-learning activities for these learners?

Clearly, designers should strive to create resources that are as easy to access and use on a cell phone platform as they are on a laptop if they hope to reach these populations. Regarding the high school dropouts: I'm inclined to think there is more going on here than just money issues. There might be a perception that cell phones are "cool" while using a laptop is nerdy and bookish.

In doing research for my emerging technology, I came across this wiki about instructional strategies and technology. 

I've had this as a main bookmark for a couple years now. This is arguably the most convenient page ever made. I put the link for the education section so that all the links that come up will be educatio-related. Be sure to check out the other tabs on the top of the page though!
