Judy Brown is talking about mobile learning: it’s more that eLearning lite.
M-learning: Pervasive. Get learners to complete tasks while going about their day-to-day lives.
Laptops are mobile but not in Judy’s book. She wants something you always take with you. It’s always connected. It’s instant-on.
When is learning needed? (from Conrad Gottfredson)
- When learning for the first time
- When wanting to learn more
- When trying to remember
- When things change
- When something goes wrong
Modules for assessment, content, mobility, performance. Quiz. Recordings. Augmented reality. Sim. Games. Job aid. Checklist. Decision support. Coaching. Conferencing. Reminders.
Ray Kurzweil: “Mobile phones are misnamed. They should be called gateways to all human knowledge.”
Computer, recorder, cam, scanner, reader, connectivity, GPS, and, oh, phone.
How mobile differs from eLearning?
- More personal
- Networked
- Fun
- More interactive
- Spontaneous
- Shorter in duration
- To the point
- For instant use
- Engaging users to contribute and share

Cough in your phone and get a diagnosis!

Phone call interrupted. I have a new client but missed the larger part of Judy’s presentation.
