For those of you who were not able to make Dr. Ally’s presentation on The Use of Wireless Mobile Learning to Bridge the Learning Divide, Elluminate has made it available as a recorded session.

Dr. Ally led a very thoughtful discussion about the “Learning Divide” and how it may be bridged using new wireless mobile technology such as the $100 laptop.  The session prompted many questions about the requirements for both re-working the content for mobile use, as well as re-educating the developers and learners to take advantage of the technology.

For those of you with more questions, you may contact Dr. Ally directly by e-mailing him or calling him at (800) 788-9041 ext 6406. Additionally, you may use the comments section below to comment on the talk and start further discussion.
