Way back in November 2004 my Auricle posting A filling station model of e-learning? proposed that, instead of the institutional monolithic model of e-learning, we need to think in terms of: … an emergent model in which various sites on the internet become almost like resource ‘filling stations’ for mobile multi-function devices. Sony’s latest gizmo […]

Some major players are now entering the mobile device market. I think what we are seeing is the start of a change in which such mobile devices will very much become the norm.
