Another mobile learning blog? Yes, yes indeed. Only this time, I’m taking a more practical look at it, rather than the usual “isn’t that cool?” or “imagine if…” perspective we usually see around mobile. Brandon Hall Group just published our High-Performance Mobile Learning Maturity Model , and it has inspired me to take another look at mobile learning.
Right off the bat, it’s clear we need to start thinking differently about mobile learning, and not the way you may have been told. For years now, the hype around mobile learning has been about just how different it is from other learning experiences. And while a smartphone is obviously a different device than a laptop, the idea that mobile learning is some new alien concept has kept many organizations from understanding, adopting and executing mobile learning in a meaningful way.
