Mobile Education (mEducation) and Electronic Learning (eLearning): The future of education has finally arrived!
We have come a long way from the likes of “Sineskwela” when placing education on TV was the revolutionary method to capture the attention of students. Today, most, if not all children (my 2 kids included) have become so engrossed in the latest mobile gadgets and spend a great amount of time online for interaction, information, and entertainment — a situation in which some education institutions might see as a barrier or disruption towards learning.
But in the eyes of digital visionaries and today’s generation of educators, there is great opportunity for richer learning, more effective teaching, and improved processes.
