E learning techblog predictions 2008 gives thumbs down for mobile , I disagree!
While reading Tony Karrer's blog (yes I do read other blogs).
http://elearningtech.blogspot.com/2008/01/ten-predictions-for-elearning-2008.html
I came across a piece on eLearning Technology: Ten Predictions for eLearning in 2008. He is commenting from North America.
I initially picked up on the negative comment about mobile learning.
Prediction #5 => Mobile Learning - Continued Scattered Examples and Disappointment
I not surprisingly disagree. I will dilute it and say that isnt the case in the UK and maybe Europe. His comment on 20% of web access being via mobile devices is good and is going to increase very rapidly over 5 years.
I would like to quote Daniel Applequist of Vodafone who states in "5 years there will one Internet and it will be mobile".
Prediction #9 => Niche Online Discussions
I liked this idea of the growth of more niche online discussion and small targeted online conferences. This whole area is getting so much easier to set up . But the role of specialist facilitators is coming to the for. spend money on the human side not the platform.
those interested in gaming and its use in education and training wont like his comment on serious games.
Go on read the blog you may not like all he says but its a view !!!
