Wireless fidelity (wifi) technologies and the broad popularization of many mobile devices (smart phones, iPads, tablet PCs, small notebook computers, and others) have meant that access to the Internet and Web really is ubiquitous for many. Even with traditional online learning, it helps to make digital learning objects mobile-accessible for broader points-of-access for “anytime, anywhere” learning. Further, mobile devices, with their built-in mics, cameras, and other... technologies enable the capture of real-world information into digital format and the sharing of that information in the world.
