Designing mLearning is a hands-on resource that presents step-by-step
guidance for designing, delivering, and deploying mobile solutions,
covering both the background model and pragmatic considerations for
successfully navigating mobile projects. The book takes an integrated
approach to mobile learning regardless of the device used. Written by
Dr. Clark Quinn, a noted leader in the mLearning revolution, Designing
mLearning debunks commonly held myths about mLearning, defines the
myriad opportunities for mobile, contains real-world, illustrative
examples, includes implementation concerns, and places mobile learning
in an overall strategic plan.
Designing mLearning is written for instructional designers,
developers, media experts, managers, and anyone with responsibility
for supporting performance in organizations. While the focus is on the
design of solutions, the book addresses the critical organizational
issues to assist the larger agenda of mobilizing the organization.
The information outlined in this groundbreaking guide can be applied
across the mobile device spectrum and provides a systematic and
integrated suite of conceptual frameworks to guide designers to
pragmatic and effective solutions.
"Quinn takes you by the hand and leads you carefully and
comprehensively through the m-learning maze of devices, models,
examples, and designs, at the same time demonstrating that mobile
learning is more than being about learning, but is also about
performance."
--Jane Hart, founder & CEO, Centre for
Learning and Performance Technologies
"Stop thinking mLearning is miniaturized eLearning. Just as
digital video has enabled entirely new forms of entertainment and
communication, mLearning enables powerful new (and old) performance
solutions at very low costs. Clark omits the deafening hyperbole and
delivers today's best source of clear, complete, and useful mLearning
guidance for us all."
--Michael Allen, CEO, Allen Interactions
"The future is mobile. It will rock you more than the web did.
And Clark Quinn has written the missing manual."
--Jay
Cross, CEO, Internet Time, and author, Informal Learning
"Those of us in learning and development know we spend a
disproportionate amount of time on formal training, missing
opportunities to support workers where real learning occurs: in work,
every day. With a wealth of examples, Clark Quinn provides a clear,
useful guidebook for using 21st-century tools to support our
performers as they enact their work and apply new
learning."
--Jane Bozarth, Ed. D., author, Social Media for
Trainers and Better Than Bullet Points
"Yes, this is a handy book about mobile learning and support.
But it's also a thoughtful nudge towards rethinking what we mean when
we say we are educators."
--Allison Rossett, San Diego State University
"Clark Quinn sets the pace for a swift race toward mobile
everything. His thought-leadership and focus on solutions that work
make him the one to watch, to read, and to learn from
now!"
--Marcia Conner, advisor in business culture and
collaboration, co-author of The New Social Learning: A Guide to
Transforming Organization Through Social Media
