Abstract

As a Learning and Development (L&D) professional working within the context of mobile learning, I spend my time addressing the issue of learning on the go. In this paper, I share the concept of a Mobile Learning Strategy canvas, created to assist a more strategic approach to mobile learning by L&D practitioners. I assert that the ongoing evolution of training and development, specifically within the realm of mobile learning, requires specific strategic frameworks to be effective. As work becomes more technical and more complicated, workers benefit more and more from training and development. I explore both strategy as a solitary concept and strategy as applied to either mobile (a mobile strategy) or learning (a learning strategy). Lastly, bringing strategy, mobile, and learning together, I propose a framework for a mobile learning strategy. By strategically placing the learner and their context at the center of a mobile learning solution, L&D professionals can better serve their learning audiences and better support their business.
