10 Mobile Learning Trends For 2018 – eLearning Industry

Source: 10 Mobile Learning Trends For 2018 – eLearning Industry

This article popped up in my Twitter feed, and it’s actually rather good. I think one of the introductory lines in the article said (and I’m paraphrasing here), that there is no need to separate e-learning and m-learning as it should really all be the same thing now. Not so true when I first became interested in the field! But I totally agree with that assessment, and the recommendations in this article are a great reflection of the evolution of where not only web design and UX have evolved in the last six to eight years, but also how online learning has evolved in how it’s presented.

Take a look….Do you like what you are reading for this? Do you agree with the author’s assessment? I thought this was generally a better article about e-learning trends than others I’d seen more recently. Share your thoughts in the comments.

Definitely a big fan of mobile learning. I used apps on my tablet (my smartphone is too small and ‘old’ to use very many apps) to learn JavaScript while on the go — during lunch at work, or while lounging on the weekends at the duck pond nearby. I like the gamification these apps use as well! Hadn’t realized this was becoming the norm, but I’m glad to see it. 🙂 I use Codecademy a lot as well, and it’d be nice if they too were also able to get on board with working on mobile devices somehow.
