John Alonso, OutStart CTO
“Many organizations continue to operate under the misconception
that mobile learning is costly, complicated and difficult to integrate. The premise of my presentation with the AICC
is to dispel these myths and share with attendees the techniques and approaches
to develop and deploy mobile learning initiatives. Specifically, I will address the common
barriers-to-entry organizations cite and demonstrate how these can be addressed
in the creation and execution of mobile learning initiatives.”
