Introduc6on

Mobile
device
ownership
has
seen
an
exponen>al
growth
throughout
the
world
in
the
last
decade.
Instruc>onal
designers,
both
in
private
and
public
industry,
are
looking
for
ways
to
create
and
deliver
instruc>on
for
mobile
devices.
They
are
mo>vated
by
the
ability
of
mobile
devices
to
deliver
complex,
high-‐
quality,
interac6ve,
efficient,
effec6ve,
and
engaging
instruc6on,
to
a
large
audience
of
users
and
the
social
implica>ons
of
this.

Delivering
Instruc>on
on
Mobile
Devices
implies:
Capable

mul>ple

Comparable

Unfortunately

best
use
prac>ces
for
developing
instruc6on
for
mobile

has
not
kept
pace
with
the
hardware
and
sojware
improvements
of
mobile

Most
instruc>on
developed
for

As
we
move
ahead,
the
findings
from
this
project
will
have
implica>ons
for
higher
educa>on
and
K-‐12
educators
as
well.
Both
are
looking
for
innova>ve
ways
to
efficiently
develop
instruc>on
that
mo6vates
and
engages
learners,
but
at
the
same

encourages
the

process
in

with
the
enhancement
and
enrichment
of
learner’s
skills
and

The
challenge
for
the
educators
and

developers
of
the
future
will
be
to
find
a
way
to
ensure
that
this
new

is
highly
situated,
personal,
collabora>ve
and
long
term;
in
other
words,
truly
learner-‐centered
learning.
