The Promise of True mLearning is a Tough Sell
For the last few weeks, I have been busy delivering webinars and workshops on the topic of mobile learning, and throughout, the one question I hear constantly has to do with people asking me for mLearning examples.

From eLearning to mLearning: The Top 5 Challenges beyond Technology
Let’s get one thing out of the way, the future of eLearning isn’t about adding more ‘animations‘ to our existing eLearning (in the name of making courses more engaging), neither is it about an eLearning 2.0 or 3.0 vision.

Think Multiscreen (vs. iPad-only) when developing an mLearning Strategy
One thing I stress in my mLearning workshops is the fact that having an iPad-only strategy for Learning is not a thorough mLearning Strategy.

mLearning is Bigger than Mobile Devices. The “m” is for Multiscreen.
In a previous post entitled The “m” in mLearning means More, I made a case for why I believe mobile learning has vastly more potential than eLearning, in no small part because of all the sensor superpowers built into mobile devices. I’m writing an eBook now on my thoughts on mLearning, and among other things, I’m […]
Is it Time to Remove the ‘e’ and ‘m’ from Learning? Yes and No
This is becoming a question I get asked frequently, and I also see it asked quite a bit to other people. I happen to think this is a very valid question, especially as people begin to participate in conferences and conversations on the topic of using mobile for learning.

10 mLearning Lessons I Learned from reading Mobile First by Luke Wroblewski [Book Review]
