This document discusses the future of mobile learning in the workplace. It outlines how the mobile world is shifting towards mobility with growing smartphone and internet access. The changing workplace is also driving mobile learning with an increasingly mobile workforce and younger generations that are tech-savvy. This creates a great opportunity for learning through informal methods using mobile devices to support just-in-time learning needs. Mobile learning can help address the 70:20:10 model of learning through experience and coaching in addition to formal courses.
