Week 15 Mobile, Wireless, and Ubiquitous Learning
We will be talking about mobile learning, the next frontier. I reflected this a bit in my Wikibook how the University of Western Florida has developed a HPT certification course by for the Coast Guard delivered via PDA. The PDA wireless and Bluetooth capabilities have been turned off for security purpose but anytime anywhere is becoming a reality. This is also what Bryan Alexander asked me in this blog. It definitely is the future.
I have not finished the readings for this week but will later in the weekend. However, I want to get this out so I do not hold my critical friend, Yichun, back from commenting. This week is my final blog post for R685 but, I have a feeling not my last blog post here.

Nice readings list.
So how often are Coast Guard people online?
Dr. Bryan Alexander,
I am flattered that an esteemed educator, as yourself, would visit my blog, let alone leave a comment, thank you. As for the reading list you would have to thank Dr. Curt Bonk who took the time (I would assume a lot of time) putting this together. I tried to pick the ones more pertainant to my realm in the Coast Guard.
I think Coast Guard people are roaming around quite a bit. Fredsplace.org is a place for "Coasties" to come together and has been growing for the last 5 years. In a formal capacity, like this, probably not many. I am in a Advanced Education program where they let me be a student for a year. In fact, we send a lot of Naval Engineers to the University of Michigan to obtain their Masters.
I will be placed into the Performance Tech program when I leave Indiana, so maybe I can implement some things. My class just wrote a Wikibook, and I wrote a chapter on Web 2.0 and emerging technologies in the military. Let me know if you want to take a look (or edit) and I will send a link.
Again, thanks for visiting.
Chris
It’s so good to see you finding data that connect your working experiences with your wiki chapter. And thank you for posting it so early though I still give you comment late. I really enjoy reading your posts and thanks for your editing my wiki chapter as well. ☺
