Notes de l'éditeur
\n
In the 90s, the faculty of law at Harvard, keen on maintaining its standings, modernized all its classrooms to meet the students' demands to access the internet from their laptops. New chairs, electrical and Internet outlets were installed for all. Classes had barely started when Internet access was cut off. The students were always online. Some teachers felt useless, others found it difficult to cope with the barrage of questions and refutations fueled by Internet access. Today, the Internet connections have still not been reactivated; however, the whole campus is covered with wi-fi. And professors cintinue to ponder how to cope with this new technology. This story reflects the maelstrom to which we're trying to adapt in this acceleration of evolution.\n

• Location-based integration. Mobile learning has taken to the streets, with technologies that allow for seamless integration with a wide range of locations. One of the best uses of this technology has been within museums, where visitors can use a mobile device to listen to information about items in the museum's collection.\n• Snack learning. Educators are developing learning tools that offer up snack sized bits of learning for students on the go.\n
