aptly, by declaring via his Gartner Report title that “The Adoption of

Mobile Learning is Approaching a Tipping Point.”

• Janet Clarey, in a 2012 study for Bersin on “The Rise of On-Demand

Mobile Video for Learning and Development” clarifies that mobile

learning is reaching a clear watershed moment saying “…mobile

learning, m-learning, mobile enablement or mobile performance support

– it is here in a big way. “
