Mobile Elearning Should Die a Quick, Painless Death

There are so many applications and programs related to electronic or online learning right now, it’s not even funny. Most of the time I’m impressed by the cleverness of it all, but sometimes, my eyebrows would shoot up in incredulity and disdain. I’m no expert in programming, customization of technology or whatever—but I can certainly say that I’m an expert consumer. An example of a stupid innovation, I think is mobile electronic learning.



I really wish that mobile elearning will die a quick, painless death. Not only is it an impractical and ineffective way to learn courses, but it is also a health hazard (eye strain, much?). I understand that mobile phones are becoming a vital tool used in both the personal and professional environments, but seriously, how can a person really learn and absorb information via 3-inch LCD screens?

Elearning on mobile phones is not taken, or never will be taken seriously by learners because learning is not instant. It takes a certain amount of time and effort driven by the right amount of motivation. No matter how much we wish to be like the characters in The Matrix who merely have to “download” skills and knowledge via computers, it’s not going to happen—within next couple of decades, at least. The point that I’m trying to establish is that quality learning takes time and comprehension. Mobile learning will not be able to satisfy this need, basically because staring at a tiny thing for a whole day everyday for a year will numb your mind, least of all your vision. It simply does not make any sense at all.

I appreciate the effort of developers to use trends in technology to boost the utilization of electronic learning in today’s society. It is an admirable practice to keep up with the changes and evolution of technology, people and culture. For instance, elearning has tapped into social media such as Facebook, Twitter, social bookmarking sites and so on. And everyone knows how big the roles of these social media are in their daily lives. It has become a necessary entity in the lives of people from all walks of the planet.

I guess mobile electronic learning is one of those “failed experiments” for the developers in the industry. But I know that they’ll come up with more creative and useful stuff in the future. They’ve come this far, after all. There’s no stopping them from coming up with the best application or software solution for the benefit of learners everywhere in the world.

Of Road Trips and Free Insurance Quotes

Today, I am looking avidly for free insurance quotes. I want to get insurance but I also want to get the best deal. If I don’t search for free insurance quotes, I will not get as much bang for my buck. This is because a lot of insurance providers are very wily. They can smell if a person will get sucked into a deal that has a high rate which, on other circumstances, could actually be brought down to a very lower rate. This is the nature of sales. One will give a higher price for the object that is on demand right now simply because demand makes the price go higher, but market competition is what makes the price go lower. If a customer knew just how high the rates he or she is given by any sales agent as compared to the other rates available in the market, then he or she will not be easily swindled. This is why information is the key to getting a really good deal. And once again, this is where the importance of free insurance quotes is emphasized.



Driving down the highway with the top down feels great. You could probably even blast out loud one of your favorite songs. You could be with several of your fun friends. You could simply be with your significant other. Or you could even be just alone and enjoying the drive. Just imagine it; everybody loves going on a road trip. However, there is now some statistical surveys claiming that a lot of road accidents happen during such road trips. This is why it is important for people like me who enjoy road trips and long drives to have good insurance coverage. Start looking for free insurance quotes if you also want the best coverage for the best rate.
