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.”
