The Four Stages of Mobile Maturity

Upside Learning

After posing some questions about what constitutes a mobile learning ecosystem , I’ve continued working towards a model that can describe a mobile learning ecosystem, a task far harder than initially imagined. As has been discussed endlessly on our blog before, the future of learning is mobile. One interesting aspect I’ve noticed from my research is that organizations move on an evolutionary path as they mature in their adoption of mobile technologies that impact learning significantly.

Designing Backward and Forward

Clark Quinn

At the recent DevLearn, several of us gathered together in a Junto to talk about issues we felt were becoming important for our field. After a mobile learning panel I realized that, just as mlearning makes it too easy to think about ‘courses on a phone’, I worry that ‘learning experience design’ (a term I’ve championed ) may keep us focused on courses rather than exploring the full range of options including performance support and eCommunity.

Challenges Facing Trainers Trying to Implement Serious Games

Kapp Notes

Mischief Managed: What "Harry Potter" Can Teach You About Managing E-Learning Projects

The Learning Dispatch

As I’ve said in previous posts, I strive to relate these articles to everyday life and, in particular, my own life. What’s happening now? My eight-year-old has discovered Harry Potter and wants to see every movie ASAP. Oh, but there’s a catch. Mean Mom (i.e. me) has mandated that each book be read before the movie is seen, so naturally a great deal of Harry Potter reading takes place in the house these days.

This is an example of a small story-based design approach called "Instant Stories" which quickly connects learners to the content. content Click here to view " I Didn't Mean to Hur

E-learning Uncovered

I’m sitting in my office right now, working on an e-learning course with Election Day coverage on the TV. This got me thinking about how great our country is. We get the option to have our voice heard and our vote counted, which many find inspiring and motivating. What if we did the same thing in our e-learning courses? According to a session I attended at Learning 2012, The Learner’s Evolution , that’s a great way to capture the interest of our audience.
