Classic educational settings such as schools and universities to museums and workplaces have become hubs for mobile learning. The potential for development is exciting and ambitious; learning implants, augmented reality, wearable learning.

Learning from the comfort of your own home:

Our ability to retrieve information was restricted for many years to expensive, heavy, cumbersome textbooks that add unnecessary bulk to our lives. It is remarkable that one small device is now able to give us all the data we could ever need. In the past, losing or damaging a book would be an expensive and frustrating exercise. Now, even if we misplace or damage a device we can easily access any other technological apparatus with the same information intact. Instead of being forced to sit on an uncomfortable chair surrounded by odours of colleagues or students perusing text, we can now relax at home on the couch, or fill in time on public transport, all whilst studying internationally valid educational information.

Everyone is getting on board:

mLeaning is truly changing the way we see education and indeed far-reaching areas such as security and intelligence. According to a technology assessment report by Chet Hosmer Carlton Jeffcoat, Matthew Davis, Thomas McGibbon, “Numerous agencies including the Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Intelligence community, and law enforcement are utilizing mobile technology for information management.”

International applications:

The interactive aspect of mLearning is also providing new, stimulating ways for students to interact with classes and teachers beyond their rural, city, or indeed entire country areas. Instant access and input into different areas means that burning questions can be answered promptly, any challenges discussed and solved instantly, and new ideas can be put forth and discussed on an open learning platform. The potential for bright minds that may have never been met due to geographic limitations can be bypassed, paving the way for incredible collaborations across the globe.
