M-learning manager: An emerging profession

Abstract

The m-learning is emerging as a new sector in education and training provision, side by side with face-to-face education, distance education and e-learning. The m-learning introduced new pedagogical and technical paradigms for the design and delivery of m-learning materials. The e-learning manager not necessarily has the knowledge to manage m-learning projects or products thus a new profession is emerging: the m-Learning Manager. This paper focuses on what the mLeMan EC project is doing to define this new profession in terms of needed skill set and related learning materials useful to fill the current professional gap in the m-learning management. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
