In my recent Auricle article A filling station model of e-learning? I suggested that integrated mobile multimedia players and communication devices could be the 'googly' which catches advocates of centralized e-learning solutions unawares. So are the major proprietary interests responding to this? Apparently not. But … At least one vendor has now pitched in to […]
