From E-learning to M-learning

1. From the field From E-learning to M-learningAuthor This paper reports on the current challenges the professional sector faces when going mobile. The report discusses the role of mobile devices in the workforce and addressesChristina Meiers, MarketingManager (imc) challenges like compatibility, security and training. It also provides a comprehensivechristina.meiers@im-c.de review of the mobile landscape, and reviews current best practices in mobile learning.Tags 1. The mobilisation of the business environmentprofessional development Around 500 million smartphones, 34 million tablets and over 1 billion app downloads in 2011and training, technical alone – according to the records of the global mobile communications market. Accordingsupport, mobile learning, to the Cisco Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast, in 2012 there are likely to be more mobilecompany-wide deviceconcepts communication devices in the world than people [1]. Use of the mobile internet and the associated transformation of the device landscape are well underway. What started with Notebooks, PDAs and Blackberries has now reached perfection with tablet PCs and smartphones. The device manufacturers continue to trump one another with ever more powerful and visually appealing examples of the mobile companion. Generally speaking, smartphones and tablets etc. are in equal measure practical, conducive to increasing productivity and a lifestyle symbol. What in the private domain has become almost standard has for some time been increasingly transferring to the business environment. 1.1 Bring your own device is reality Employees in companies don’t want to do without the more efficient functioning and the in- tuitive user interfaces of the mobile devices in their everyday vocational life either. However, companies provide these across the board only in very rare cases which means that employees also use their private devices for business purposes. This phenomenon, which has also become known as “Bring your own device“ (BYOD) or “consumerisation“, is still dismissed by many managers in companies as a future dream. In so doing, they often overlook that BYOD is already in place in everyday commercial life. According to a survey by the management consulting company Accenture of over 4,100 respondents from 16 countries, 23% already use their personal device for work [2]. The advantages are obvious. The boundaries between vocational and private life are becoming more and more blurred. It therefore seems reasonable for employees to use one device for both purposes. By having constant access to both private and commercial data, they can arrange their available time as they like, use waiting time effectively and can always be reached. This results in a more efficient and productive way of working, coupled with increased customer satisfaction due to working with their own – usually more powerful – hardware and software. As a practical spin-off, the company can omit procurement costs for devices. On the other hand, those in charge of IT have serious reservations. According to Accenture, over 36% of the respondents pay no attention to the employer’s IT security regulations. 15% even mix ing earn eLearning Papers • ISSN: 1887-1542 • www.elearningpapers.eueL ers 32 u ers.e gpap .elea rnin n.º 32 • December 2012Pap www 1
