It is true that mobile educators contact learners in places where they are, but it is unfair to say they are pandering to the digerati when educators have long ago left the stand-alone chalkboard and the course that has no website. Today the instructor communicates across space, time, and place with learners who exist in other times and places. That environment is accelerated and expanded by the mobile device. Through the proven design techniques mentioned in this article, the instructor will be present in that mobile place. And, most importantly, the proven standards, best practices, and essential elements of online education cannot be allowed simply to vanish in the Web 2.0 cafeteria that has loosened previous authority structures. The singularity of the pedagogical elements described are the basis for and will ensure the effectiveness of education in the mobile world. (Contains 1 footnote.)
