This news isn’t necessarily directly related to mobile gaming but it is a subject that has come up before: mobile learning.
Mobile learning is more than just playing brain games, it’s a fully integrated distance learning method and North Carolina is taking steps to developing it. Mobile learning games are going to be a big part of this movement.
In a world where advanced knowledge is widespread and low-cost labor is readily available, U.S. advantages in the marketplace and in science and technology have begun to erode. A comprehensive and coordinated effort is urgently needed to bolster U.S. competitiveness and pre-eminence in these areas through the use of advanced learning technologies for education and workforce development.
North Carolina educators, scientists and business executives have joined together to provide thought leadership and collaboration in this area through the formation of a new 501(c)(6) organization known as the North Carolina Association for Advanced Learning Technologies (NCALTA). NCALTA will provide a vital network and bridge between educators, legislators and technology developers regarding the use and creation of Advanced Learning Technologies.
NCALTA aims to advance research and multidisciplinary collaboration on the innovative paradigms, architectures and implementations of learning systems for adaptive learning related to STEM education (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), mobile learning, life-long-learning, just-in-time, and on-demand learning. NCALTA is committed to the development of new technologies to empower learners of all types and ages.
