M-learning

M-learning technologies enable people to engage in educational experiences at any time, from anywhere, by leveraging the unique capabilities of mobile software systems and mobile devices. M-learning solutions can, if carefully designed and managed, enable modes of learning and social interactions amongst teachers and students that improve educational outcomes in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

The NBCC Mobile First Technology initiative's (MFTi) work in m-learning has included e-book design for television apps, location-based learning, and gamification. MFTi's expects to begin developing m-learning applications in the area of mixed reality using the Microsoft HoloLens.
