“Instructional designers need to run, not walk, away from classroom-thinking and get to the point of providing short, quick business focused learning points that are easily accessible when and where our learners need them. This means leveraging new technologies to deliver non-traditional instruction.”
Karl Kapp
“The students of the future will demand the learning support that is appropriate for their situation or context. Nothing more. Nothing less. And they want it at the moment the need arises. Not sooner. Not later. Mobiles will be a key technology to provide that learning support.”
Dr. Marcus Specht
"You can't teach people everything they need to know. The best you can do is position them where they can find what they need to know when they need to know it."
Seymour Papert
"The future is mobile devices that are connected. They're going to be the new paper and pencil. Cell phones can be powerful computers, they can do just about everything laptops can do for a fraction of the price. And many students are bringing them to school anyway.”

“Using BlackBerry smartphones to deliver learning has been so effective that participants now take their courses in about 45% less time, saving about four to six hours in lost productivity per annum. These employees have also scored hire on competency exams than their colleagues studying in a traditional online format.”
