Mobile learning management systems transform the traditional LMS into one that fits into the palm of your hand. They give more flexibility to learning and support Just-In-Time learning theories, where students can access information when needed, online or offline. The offline mode seems to be one of the key features of the mobile learning management system, making learning accessible at any time, without the usually required access to Wi-Fi. Below are a few examples of some well known LMS apps.

After the pandemic, researchers compared higher education teaching practices pre-COVID and post-COVID, and after surveying 116 faculty across 2 countries, the authors found significant differences in teaching methods, assessment strategies and faculty readiness, while course content and technological support remained unchanged. Major changes included shifts from teacher-centric learning to self-guided student-centric learning by making asynchronous online learning possible where it previously was not, and more open assessment strategies that took student mental health, inequitable internet access, and the problem of academic dishonesty into account to afford students more flexibility in how they could demonstrate their learning. Faculty were also encouraged to reduce cognitive load in their lesson plans and increase interactiveness to promote more meaningful learning, and although some faculty resistance to online technologies for teaching and learning remains an issue, consistent support from institutional technology departments remains critical in ensuring successful technological adaptation and innovation in education. We explore some tools that we used in our transition to online learning further below, which we believe have the potential to promote innovation and have a meaningful long-term impact on how we teach and learn in the future.
