Description
The use of mobile devices is expected to increase exponentially in the next few years. By 2016, it is estimated that there will be more than 2.1 billion mobile devices, nearly a twenty-fold increase from 2010. Mobile learning and social media are two ways to tap into the mobile revolution. Mobile learning can be used in a variety of ways to deliver both formal and informal learning and performance support. Social media supports the transmission of user-generated content and has become a powerful source of information. This symposium explores the use of both mobile learning and social media. The use of mobile learning is explored at a strategic level, with the intent to help attendees determine how to best implement mobile learning in their organizations, while the exploration of the use of social media is hands on. The social media platform that will be examined is Twitter, specifically how to use Twitter to improve your job search and to improve your conference experience.
