The eLearning world has rapidly moved into a world of mobile everything. Media is delivered on devices that fit into the palm of a hand. People make calls and read emails on their phones, they communicate by texting, and they watch streaming video. They also have lessons on their mobile devices, but is this an entirely good thing?
This session will explore the research and outcomes of using mobile devices with small screens for eLearning. It will demonstrate the neuroscience of visual learning and show how using mobile devices to deliver lessons changes learners’ perceptions. It will also explore the cognitive nature of mobile devices and how designers and developers can use this to their advantage.
