m-learning

Posted on April 18th, 2009 by Sharon

M-learning is a new era in learning and development, perfect to enhance the education of young people and training employees on the move.

Whatever portable technology you have, a smartphone, a PDA, an iPhone or an iPod, m-learning can deliver training and communications to your audience wherever they are. Using a variety of communication methods, SMS text messaging, push messaging or pushcasts, mobile content is delivered to your student, employee or consumer and stored on their mobile device so that it can be viewed whenever convenient and as many times as your user needs.

M-training (mobile training), although delivered in bitesize chunks, can be anything from a simple text message, text quiz or media rich, quality 'edutainment'.

Personal technology or handheld learning can also be used as a medium for interactions in museums and exhibitions, providing real-time information and learning as visitors browse as well as providing enhancements for distance learning.
