時刻互動易吸收 電子學習再進化

根據國際非營利組織新媒體聯盟(New Media Consortium)一零年發表的「The Horizon Report」,Mobile Learning由去年起,成為e-Learning的重要發展趨勢。有海外企業及學校甚至利用iPhone、iPod Touch、Blackberry等作為工具,將Mobile Learning整合至現有的學習或訓練課程中。 本港Mobile Learning產業蓄勢待發,而數碼港的數碼娛樂培育暨培訓中心內,亦有一家專注發展相關應用的企業——藝群有限公司(Art Group Limited)。創辦人秦仲宇(Daniel)擁有多年從事軟件及校外課程研習班的開發經驗,及後更積極研究e-Learning及Mobile Learning 的技術與架構,成功開發自家的ClassBooking平台,旨在以全球的課外活動中心、導師、家長、學生四大群組為對象,提供一套可持續發展的流動教學,和課外活動管理系統。
Daniel認為,Mobile Learning是大勢所趨,Art Group Limited專注有關應用,而獲得不少國際的流動學習獎項。
