Great insight. This is the time for replacing hundred of books and notebooks with a portable phone or tablet. Of course, books will still be around as they're great sources for learning and referencing. Mobile devices are there to help people access virtually whatever they require in a few seconds.

Is e-learning being flipped out?

Is e-learning being flipped out? | Higher Education in the Future | Scoop.it

Over the last few years there can be no argument that e-learning has come on an awful long way. What started off in many cases as animated PowerPoints has evolved to courses that include animations, branching scenarios, video and in some cases incorporates gaming mechanics and social drivers to increase user engagement.
