What is a mobile learning platform? Is M-Learning, which is widely known by enterprise trainers, really a mobile learning platform?

In 2003, Dr. AlexzanderDye defined it as: "Mobile learning is a kind of learning that can be carried out at any time and any place with the help of mobile computing devices. Mobile computing devices used in mobile learning must be able to effectively present learning content and provide two-way communication between teachers and learners. "

Mobile learning is an informal learning mode that relies on wireless communication and streaming media technology, integrates refined talent management theory, effectively presents targeted learning content through mobile phones, and provides communication between roles.

Enterprise trainers should jump out of two "misunderstandings" of mobile learning.

Myth 1: Mobile learning is "mobile" learning.

The holder of this view believes that mobile learning is an individual learning activity that can be carried out in a free mobile environment. This view is actually a variant of E-Learning offline learning mode (sumtotal, a well-known foreign learning and talent management solution provider, developed the E-Learning offline learning component a long time ago, through which students can download the planned learning content and put it on their laptops to expand the randomness and freedom of learning, and synchronize data with the E-Learning platform when they can access the network environment to complete the consistency of learning records. ), this mobile feature E-Learning can also be realized, so "mobile" is not the biggest advantage of mobile learning.

From D-Learning to E-Learning and then to M-Learning, the biggest transcendence of mobile learning lies not in the randomness of region, but in the randomness of consciousness, that is to say, the occurrence of M-Learning should be beyond personal planning, and it is a learning behavior inspired by environmental changes or thinking activities. Only such behavior can produce high efficiency.

Myth 2: Mobile learning is to browse learning content anytime and anywhere by using wireless terminals.

This view seems to be very close to mobile learning, and its fatal problem lies in the passivity of learning content: as just analyzed, the advantage of mobile learning lies in learners' conscious learning freedom. In fact, the occurrence of learning behavior, especially in informal environment, is mostly from the bottom up and from the inside out; This kind of behavior needs more human-computer interaction and more interactive space for learners, rather than simple learning content push initiated by training organizers.
