Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

Everything Christopher Pappas writes here is exactly right. This is my exact point of view about the topic as well. It doesn’t apply to just e-learning or m-learning as well. I have found that social media has expanded my approach to technical communications as well, so the methods he describes here really has a broader reach than just the e-learning community. This is a must-read article!
