Mobile technologies are taking off, we’re getting real power in technology standards (and still some hiccups), and we’re crossing boundaries between reality and virtual worlds. Virtual world standards are emerging too, and hopefully some convergence will have happened by 2015! What’s probable?

I’d done this before for virtual worlds , and it only seems right to do the same for mobile learning. When linked with augmented reality, we can start having alternate reality games. Tags: mobile. It occurred to me for several reason to think about mobile from the perspective of affordances. What am I confounding?

While I think there are many legitimate reasons why an organization should partake in virtual immersive environments (VIEs) for learning and collaboration, there are also some "less-than-comfortable" reasons organizations are leaning in this direction. S top, proceed with caution. The same thing happens in organizations.
