[LINK] Gadgets and more: Mobile e-Learning Made Easy

[Tom Worthington]

The Australian Institute of Training & Development (AITD) National 
Conference starts today in Sydney at the Australian Technology Park: 
<https://aitd.worldsecuresystems.com/conference>.

I will be speaking 10:30am tomorrow on "Gadgets and more: Mobile 
e-Learning Made Easy". My notes are at: 
<http://www.tomw.net.au/technology/it/mobile_elearning/>.

In this I suggest that while the gadgets have got cleverer, the people 
using them have not. So we need to keep devices used for education 
simple for teachers and students.

A wax tablet used by a student at Delphi two thousand years ago looks 
much the same as a tablet computer of today. The ancient Antikythera 
mechanism (used for computation) needed a user interface and "system 
upgrades", as do systems used for education today.
