1. Not listening enough

2. Lack of curiosity

3. Rigid thinking

4. A single method

5. Fear

Asynchronous, self-actuated, playful ... why mobile learning outdoes the traditional classroom
Alfredo Corell's curator insight, December 15, 2012 7:11 PM

Mobile Learning is about self-actuated personalization.

As learning practices and technology tools change, mobile learning itself will continue to evolve. For 2013, the focus is on a variety of challenges, from how learners access content to how the idea of a “curriculum” is defined.

Technology like tablets PCs, apps, and access to broadband internet are lubricating the shift to mobile learning, but a truly immersive mobile learning environment goes beyond the tools for learning to the lives and communities valued by each individual learner.
