Morgan Stanley’s findings — as found within their Internet Trends presentation — raise some important questions such as:
- If mobile is going to overtake desktop in 5 years , what does that mean for the networking infrastructures on our campuses?
- How does that affect the work of instructional technologists? Faculty members?
- Does this trend carry with it any implications for pedagogy?
- Other?

Learning TRENDS by Elliott Masie – April 2, 2010.
#616 – Updates on Learning, Business & Technology.
54,909 Readers – http://www.masie.com – The MASIE Center.
iPad for Learning LAB:
We’ll be doing immediate testing on the “affordances” for learning that may be created by this new device. Jonathan Kayes (our CLO), Lauren Boughton (our Producer), Tom King (MASIE Fellow for ePubs), Erin Anderson (our recent college graduate editor) and Elliott Masie, will do a series of immediate experiments on the iPad. We are looking for affordances such as:
* Learning Apps: What might a $3 or $20 Learning App look like and accomplish?
* Media Shifts: How could one develop a module that deeply leverages multi-touch?
* Learner Expectations: What might devices such as these do to learner expectations for content and interaction?
* Marketplace Disruptions: What is the equivalent of the iTunes Song for 99 cents in learning?
* Missing Capabilities: Explores the role of video-conferencing, flash and other elements currently absent from the iPad.
Some of you are a bit hyper and will get your iPad tomorrow. Some are waiting. And, many are seeing too much hype and buzz. If you would like to follow and participate in our MASIE Center LAB tests and experiments, you can go to:
http://www.ipadlearninglab.com
This is a free and vendor-neutral blog that will take a deep look at the Learning dimensions of the iPad. Feel free to add your thoughts, experiences and questions.
Yours in learning,
Elliott Masie

The $50 Wolfram Alpha iPhone app is $2 because now they want people to actually buy it — from gizmodo.com
Wolfram Alpha has decided it’d be good if people actually use the supercalculator on their phone, so its famously $50 iPhone (and soon to be iPad) app will be $2. And, they’re legitimately making the mobile site better.
