Chapter 2: Multi-Device Ecosystems
Abstract
Chapter 2 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 52, no. 3), “Mobile Learning Trends: Accessibility, Ecosystems, Content Creation,” discusses and defines multi-device ecosystems. It looks at how mobile and desktop computers work together, along with other types of hardware, such as wearables and smart TV. It defines three ways that devices work together: consistent, continuous, and complementary design. It shows examples of each type of multi-device experience and how that experience is being used to improve learning experiences for all ages and abilities.
