M-learning: The Future of Distance Education

Online Learning 2003 Exhibit Floor Booth #710
The rise of mobile devices will have far-reaching implications on the future landscape of distance learning. Join us for an in-depth exploration of this new technology in a variety of sessions and events at Online Learning 2003, including a special m-learning area on the Expo floor where you can try out the latest technologies for yourself (visit www.onlinelearningconference.com for details).

Online Learning 2003 - Session 710

Wednesday, September 24, 2003, 2:00-3:00 PM
The U.S. military -- in fact, the entire U.S. government -- is being driven to become faster and more agile and to put more decision-making information in the hands of people on the front lines. The exponential growth in the power of mobile computing devices has opened up vast new sets of possibilities from which to draw solutions to these emerging requirements. This session will examine not only the state-of-the-art but also the art-of-the-possible. Both the Academic ADL Co-Lab at the University of Wisconsin and the ADL Co-Lab in Alexandria, VA, are engaged in research into the application of mobile computing devices to learning, training and performance support issues. Come join us for a look at these efforts.

Online Learning 2003 - Session EX13

Wednesday, September 24, 2003, 11:30 AM - 12:15 PM
Whether you call it disconnected learning or m-learning, the meaning is clear: Learners want their content to be as mobile as they are. The power of PDAs is increasing to the extent that this desire can now be made a reality. In fact, some forward-thinking vendors are now leveraging the power of mobile computing platforms to make learning accessible to people in-flight, en-route and even in the office. This evaluation will examine how well these early players are doing and identify major strengths and weaknesses.

Online Learning 2003 - Session 217
