Too early for mobile learning? Or is it?
This domain is going on 3 years old. I got it in February of 2003 expecting to start a whole site on Mobile Elearning. With Flash on PDA's and heading to phone I then thought the timing was right. It was definitely too early. I think we're getting close now though. Since this is Mobilemind, maybe it's time to share some links and resource for information on Mobile Learning.
- Flash Lite 2 Released - Phone and devices get parity with the desktop Flash Player 7, including use of AS2 and Adobe labs has a supporting authoring tool update, Flash Lite 2 Update for Flash Pro 8.
- M-Learning: Mobile E-Learning by David Metcalf seems to now be available as a book on the HRD Press web site. It was originally slated for a late 2005 release. Though I've hosted a webinar on mobile learning with David and we speak with each other at trade shows, I haven't seen the book yet. His presentations are great and I do like his other book.
- OnPoint Digital "mLearning Pro"- Some mobile learning LMS/authoring software for, and devices based on, the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet.
- Hot Lava Software continues to offer recurring seminars on mobile content development and offers a free desktop training module about mobile learning.
- All (Japanese) Phones to have Flash support soon - A company named Otto seems to be aggressively marketing Flash to Japanese phone manufacturers. Then again, maybe something got lost in translation from the original Japanese PR.
- Mobile Learning Example - Example of useful, relevant practical elearning. American Sign Language Finger Spelling available for Pocket PC's in Flash 6 and Flash Lite 1.1
- Elearnopedia m-Learning - As of this writing it seems like this was last updated in 2004, but the information on this ADL Co-Lab site is still useful.
- Mobile Learning Group resource center - A site that has useful links to research and resource for those interested in mobile learning.
- M-Learning Project- Resources and demos from a European research project that generated mobile learning in support of adult and continuing education.
- Mobilearn - Another European project. This project focuses more on the collaborative, on-demand, and location-based aspects of mobile learning. Giunti is acting as coordinator and they have been very active in the mobile learning space.
