Trends in Mobile Learning Hardware – learning about specific input and output hardware technology (mobile phones, barcodes, digital pens, and more), the infrastructure and networks that support such hardware devices, and the levels of mobile context typically seen in the e-learning arena.
Trends in Mobile Learning Software – how the unique affordances of mobile devices affect software development decisions, mobile computing standards, operating systems and browsers, learning app and content dev tools, and mobile LMSs.
Case Studies on Mobile Learning – including links to eight case studies on mobile learning available from the Brandon Hall Research Center, exclusively for Research Center members.
The Near Future of Mobile Learning – what we can expect over the next few years (for example, decreasing costs, increasing capacity, updated versions of systems and devices, the advancement of mobile learning theory and practice as the field matures, access to a greater number of mobile learning conferences, a desire of more companies to go virtual with some workers, more employees from the techno generation entering the workforce, and the increased speed of decision-making in the business world due to 24/7 accessibility via e-mail, PDAs, and other devices).
