This is something that I was thinking about with all the talk of twitter and the like as well as mLearning last week. The Cone of Learning (Edgar Dale) (fancier) suggest that interaction is something that is critical to learning. Linked with mLearning, being able to be in the field doing and then getting a pointer for what might be relevant combines the active doing and the passive reading to really create a learning experience that is unique.
This isn’t really that new, as people could have dragged a manual around to get on the spot pointers, but with mobile devices, the smaller the better and the richer the better.
All the geocaching type games play on this idea…
A brain dump…
