It will be more light weight device compare to books, PCs.

Mobile learning could be utilised as part of a learning approach which uses different types of activities (or a blended learning approach).

Mobile Training – Why Isn’t it Everywhere?

Cost and Complexity

– No common technology

– Instructional design challenges

– Lack of content re-use across mobile and desktops

Diverse range of devices to support

Lack of LMS support

Bandwidth issues / lack of offline capability

Limited form factor and user experience for many scenarios

– The tablet is changing all that!

HTML5 (together with CSS and JavaScript) lifts the restrictions of earlier HTML standards by natively supporting

– Advanced graphics

– Video and audio

– Typography

– Animations and many other interactive effects
