Mobile Learning
The number of mobile devices in my house might surprise you. We have an iPAD, 2 iPod touches, 3 smartphones, and depending on if you consider them a mobile device or not, we have 3 laptops. Our blue-ray player and our Wii also connect to the internet and those are the devices on which we watch our television shows.
The community college where I work has had anytime, anywhere classes for at least the last decade and was a leader in teleconference classes before that. Distance learning no longer requires the use of a building where sophisticated technology exists, because it's now in the palm of your hand.
As we look toward the future, we need to plan for modular learning, flexibility and connections on the go. Patrick, in her tenth point, describes devices as ubiquitous and says that this invites multiple pathways for learning. I concur.
