Ubiquity and Reusability

Abstract

Ubiquity and reusability are key factors in driving the deployment of content. Up to now these elements have been challenges within mobile learning. However, with the advent of metadata structures, new technologies and mobile platforms, ubiquity and reusability are becoming a reality. It is important when introducing new learning platforms such as mobile learning that money and time is not spent creating complex ways to extract material that is already available in legacy systems. Learning is moving from being teacher centric to learner centric. Ericsson is in the transitional phase, moving towards Personal Learning Environments whereby students will learn on the platforms which best support their learning styles. The paper outlines the development of Ericsson Education’s learning content deployment strategy for instructor led, elearning and mobile learning.
