3. Embrace change and adopt a new mindset…
…To fully realize the potential of
mLearning, we need to think outside the
eLearning box and question many of our
traditional practices. More than anything
else the mobile revolution is about
adopting a new mindset…

4. Become an active, observant mobile user…
…Try to get different devices and
download as many apps as you can and
ask yourself what you like and dislike
about each of them. This is important
because you can then implement a lot of
the things you like about the app
experience into your own mobile learning
projects…

5. Think mobile-first and desktop-second…
…the traditional PC has now been
reduced to just one of many screens in
today’s new multiscreen world. One of the
many advantages of thinking mobile first
and desktop second, is that it forces you
to focus and prioritize because of the
limited canvas size you are working with
on mobile…

6. Resist the temptation to simply convert your
eLearning desktop to HTML5…
…reimagine what your existing courses
need to look like on mobile, considering
the context in which people use mobile
devices, plus all the sensor superpowers
built into mobile devices, and then go out
and look for the right tools and
technologies that will help you bring your
ideas to life…

7. Embrace Simplicity…
…the mobile experience is about
simplicity, it’s about sharing one big idea
per screen and nothing more, it’s about
looking at what’s really important and
then getting rid of everything else, the
fluff…

8. Don´t put limits on mobile learning…
…I am fully convinced that when you
couple the mobility and physicality of
mobile, with all the other sensor
superpowers inherent in mobile devices
(i.e. digital compass, gyroscope, audio,
dual cameras, Bluetooth, proximity, etc.),
we will actually create better learning
experiences on mobile…

9. Explore new tools beyond the usual suspects…
…developing m-Learning is very different
from designing traditional eLearning and
I believe we need new tools that are built
from the ground up and that embody
everything that is great about mobile…

10. Learn everything you can about mLearning…
…Read and subscribe to as many blogs,
newsletters and Podcasts on m-Learning
as possible, attend conferences,
webinars and workshops whenever you
can. Also learn everything you can about
new technologies like HTML5,
responsive design, CSS3 and begin to let
go of some of the older technologies like
Flash…
