This webinar goes beyond the reasoning that because 40 percent of web content is consumed via mobile phone, and more than half of American adults have smartphones, you must create mobile learning. As educators, we will look at mobile learning with a focus on learning, and not on the fact that mobile devices are ubiquitous. We will examine a framework that helps you evaluate mobile learning based on what you must teach, how learning occurs, and the instructional tactics required to support your learning objectives. Understanding the instructional benefits and limitations of a range of mobile learning options will help you advocate for mobile learning when it makes sense, and provide you the foundation to address those who advocate for mobile learning simply because these devices are everywhere.
