Center for Learning Alternatives

Now that eLearning has arrived on the scene, mLearning is now emerging. From personal computers as a unique specialized tool (in 1984) to a household item, are we to see personal digital assistants (pda's) today and cell phone technology that is explosive and generationally developing rapidly take a similar path - common consumer item permeating throughout society (think TV, VCR/DVD, Computer, Internet). eLearning has emerged into the mainstream with a lot of focus and increasing acceptance, and will increasingly do so, especially driven by cost savings to government. mLearning is the cutting edge of where we'll be going next.

From educational podcasting to educational vodcasting (video podcasting), education as we know it is changing and will continue to evolve via technological advancements and developments. And mLearning is one of those advancements.
