mLearning – The Challenges

Since the first iPhone hit the streets, Smart Phones have transformed the way people access information and the internet.

In 2011, Mobile web access in the U.S.A exceeded traditional desktop web browsing for the first time. The same year, smartphone and tablet shipments exceeded those of desktop and laptops. (Source: http://thetechjournal.com/internet/mobile-web-vs-desktop-web.xhtml)

Mobile internet access is transforming the way individuals and organisations communicate and interact.

So its little surprise that the world of e-learning is following this trend and with this comes a range of challenges including effective use of available screen size, bandwidth and standards.

Given that Mobile/Tablet devices offer greater accessibility and affordability, the demand for m-Learning, a term often tagged to e-learning on a device other than a desktop, is growing continuously.
