Mobile ownership is growing, and with that, so is mobile learning. People are accustomed to using their phones to look up information, share knowledge, and learn on the fly. They want information instantly and effortlessly. These new norms pressure learning teams, such as mine, to rethink how online learning is developed and consumed across the organization.
The resource I’ve created below is for learning professionals – particularly managers, developers, and designers. It introduces best practices necessary for making new and existing online learning mobile-friendly.

Hi Elizabeth. Thank you for the beautiful presentation on mobile learning. At first, I was a bit confused when I read the title and started with the mini-course because I felt that the title is broad. Then, the big picture became clear while I was browsing the sections. I have to say that your work is very organized and concise, and I really liked the comparison between the three platforms. I wish you included more details about some of the technical/design features that each software provides as I am curious about exploring all of them more deeply. I also appreciate that you briefly referred to microlearning in the third section (on which I presented a critical analysis) and the rationale behind not choosing to shift to mobile-centred learning in some situations. To that end, I argue that although there are scenarios where it is not best to cater training via personal mobiles, the opposite seems to be more prevalent. Do you think that mobile-based learning will overshadow other forms in the near future?
