New Trends of Active Learning

Getting the grips of Mobile Learning
A device that almost everyone holds today from rich to poor, students to executives and a working woman to a housewife, what else can be a better source of delivery. With nearly perfected technology in smartphones and renewed infrastructure, we are stepping ahead for mobile learning outbreak. The affordable cost of Tablets is another example of where the learning industry will be in next couple of years. You must have noticed Aakash, popularly known as the world's cheapest tablet launched for just $35 by the Indian Government and provided about $150M in Union Budget 2012-2013.
The new eLearning development will follow 'less is more' strategy to deliver to the point content. The Instructional designers will have to consider the limitations of screen sizes, memory capacity, battery life and usability in new learning designs for mobile learning.
With increasing acceptance of smartphone and tablets there is a visible momentum in the mobile learning arena. However the question is that irrespective of the knocking opportunity for business, is mobile learning really a trend to watch in 2012?
Internet is accessed by a substantial number of users through their smartphones and if you add the tablet users then the number will be considerable and growing every day. A commercial organization has to gear up for the future market opportunity and start delivering some kind of mobile learning to create a market of its own. A lot of times the customer is not necessarily aware of the need and the benefits of the solution offered.
When REDTRAY delivered the first mobile learning module to Amex along with interactive eLearning, they immediately recognized the benefits. Most of the times decision makers follow the advices offered by various articles, colleagues, so called experts and learning providers which may not necessarily be the right way of looking at it. Unless you really experience one of the modules delivered by a learning provider who really understands your need, you can't make a judgment just based on word of mouth. Well! you can but you don't know if it is the right decision for your organization.
Individuals are really getting used to of searching information off the clock and on their own terms. You can't overlook the extra flavour of overall flexibility with smartphone learning. When I was travelling from Paddington to Bath by train during the late hours, pretty much every person was going through something on their smartphone. There are actually limitless such types of business opportunities available to be knocked in a more innovative way. The goal should be to create smartphone friendly learning content that will deliver greater convenience to distant employees in corporate world.
There is a trend of mobile revolution being adopted in formal business trainings and by some higher education institutions. Learning Technologies Show, Olympia, London Conducted live at REDTRAY's Cloud Lounge throughout the show, the REDTRAY Fast50 delivers the freshest thinking available anywhere at UK. New insights and opinion are gathered from 50 show visitors at random, analysed and published immediately. On the whole 29% say they may bring tablets or iPads into the learning mix without having any firm plans as yet.
The iPad has marketed effectively and altered the learning approach but couldn't make a massive dent on workers. Apple's strategy of not totally supporting Flash may not likely go well when around 75% of video utilizes precisely the same format. Other tablet companies are planning to support Flash and you'll notice the new entrants and improving technologies in the years ahead. There is a new stream of digital readers to change the game and also the downloadable versions are actually getting well known.
It's going to be interesting to keep track of exactly how corporations put into practice smartphone learning across 2012 and in future.
