If you’re a content creator, there’s never been a better time than now to get your project in front of millions of viewers through the wonder and power of online distribution.

 

With high-quality content becoming increasingly available online, it’s small wonder that more and more people are turning to their laptops instead of their TVs in order to access their favorite entertainment media. In May 2012 alone, approximately 180,785,000 individuals living in the U.S. watched some form of video content online. That’s almost 60% of the total population.

 

For independent artists, these numbers add up to a very exciting conclusion: that traditional media is no longer the only—or even the preferred—way for modern audiences to access content. But with 72 hours of video uploaded every minute to YouTube alone, the prolonged attention of the average viewer is increasingly scarce. So to help their projects rise above the fray, many content creators are turning to online distributors and distribution hubs to focus attention and build a loyal audience.

From pre-kindergarten through higher education, mobile technology is changing the way we teach and learn. Change is never easy, however, and many educators are struggling to keep up with the latest advancements in mobile technology--and how to use these evolving devices in the classroom.

 

The University of San Diego (CA) hopes to overcome all that. Its School of Leadership and Education Sciences recently announced the creation of a Mobile Technology Learning Center (MTLC) to provide research-based answers to many of the unknowns regarding mobile technology and learning. By collaborating with local school districts, as well as with institutions of higher learning and government agencies, MTLC wants to be a "living laboratory" for schools and educators, to test research findings, and to provide future teachers with unique teaching and research opportunities.

 

"MTLC was created as K-12 school systems seek access to resources on how best to utilize mobile devices instructionally and technically to personalize education and increase student achievement," said Shawn Gross, senior associate for MTLC. "The emphasis is on the concept of digital literacy, project-based learning, social and collaboration tools, and the mobile learning ecosystem."
