Smartphones Are Changing Educational Access

To be fair that headline should probably read “Smartphones and Tablets Are Changing Education Access” No longer will the excuse of I just don’t have the time to take continuing education classes. Today the classes come to you.


Mobile computing has freed up today’s learners. The higher education community already knows that, but Adobe’s recent report, The State of Mobile Benchmark, uncovered some amazing statistics about the stunning growth of tablets, the true impact of smarthphone proliferation and the future of digital content.

Whenever (and wherever) you have the time you can access your educational path. If you can’t you may want to look around for a provider that can help you solve that access problem.

It sure didn’t take long. Steve Jobs announced the iPad in 2010, and the computing landscape hasn’t been the same since. Just as smartphones seemed poised to dominate mobile computing for the foreseeable future, tablets disrupted an already unsettled technology environment.

Tablets are now driving more traffic web traffic than smartphones. This means that tablet users are more engaged and active on their devices. According to Adobe, “Internet users view 70% more pages per visit when browsing on a tablet vs. a smartphone.” That’s an impressive number and a strong indicator that colleges should be preparing tablet-friendly experiences for their websites and course materials. Tablets handle desktop websites better than smartphones and don’t always require apps to offer students and faculty advanced functionality.

The mobile web has meant that it no longer takes a desktop or a laptop to have functional access to an online education.  With responsive web pages that conform to the device allowing the correct form no matter the size of the screen. Yes, in some cases it is hard to get quality data with a very small screen the new line of phablets are blurring the size even more.

Yes, at Leap University we can deliver your education to your mobile screen and at the right price.

In general online educators might see a correlation in the popularity of massive open online courses (MOOCs) for the same period. As the general population, especially college-age students, has become more engaged with technology, MOOCs have found a platform for growth. While it is unlikely that the growth of MOOCs has affected mobile-device adoption, it is likely that MOOCs have grown larger and faster because of mobile technology. In the future, more students, especially in developing countries, where mobile phones are often the only Internet-enabled devices, will allow access to MOOCs and other digital content on smartphones and tablets.
