    First steps towards mobile technology

    Probably you should be asking yourself what, then, should be my first steps towards this mobile technology?

    html5rocksFirst of all, you must learn it by heart. There are a lots of online resources for beginners, intermediates and experts. The W3 SchoolsTreehouseHTML5 Rocks are all good starting points. But also, if you want to go hardcore, you can delve into the W3C Specification, which is the bare bones real deal, so to speak; and the HTML Language Reference.

    There are also hundreds, if not thousands, of books (both paper and digital), and there’s always the classic in-person lessons, that many institutions impart. Most of all, online content, can surely satisfy all your needs, if you have the discipline.

    However, the most important thing is keeping up to date with the scene. It’s a very good idea to follow some relevant people and organizations on Twitter, Facebook, or subscribe to their newsletters, when available. To name a few I’ve not already mentioned,Smashing MagazineThe WHATWG communityChrome Dev Relations, and David Travis.

    The key is just to go ahead and start working with HTML5. You do not need expensive tools to begin; you can use any plain text editor, like Emacs, Text Wrangler or Notepad. You may develop and test right in your personal computer, and then deploy to a server, or distribute your files for offline viewing. As cheesy as it sounds, your imagination is the limit; if you have an idea and are not afraid to learn new things, you can create anything you want.

    AI-Driven Learning in Daily Workflows

    In a workplace where the pace of change outstrips the capacity of traditional training, organizations face a growing challenge: How can they ensure their teams acquire and apply skills exactly when the business needs them? A new approach is emerging—one that is completely redefining corporate learning: AI-driven learning integrated directly into daily workflows. This model eliminates the long-standing gap between “learning” and “doing.” Training stops being an isolated event and becomes continuous support that accompanies people as they carry out their real tasks.

    AI-Powered Experiential Learning: The Real Shift Has Already Begun

    Throughout this month, we explored simulations, guided practice, mastery, scenarios, and new ways to assess performance. But behind all these elements lies a much deeper transformation: AI isn’t just improving training… it’s redefining the relationship between people and learning. It moves us beyond the old logic of content to be “consumed.” With AI, learning becomes a living experience, something to explore, practice, and revisit as many times as needed. That’s the real change. Below are the 5 most powerful insights from this series on AI-Powered Experiential Learning and why it’s setting a new before and after.

    Ultra-Short Tip: The Future of eLearning Is Experiential

    Corporate training is evolving, shifting toward preparing people to act with confidence in real situations. AI-powered Experiential Learning is redefining how organizations develop talent. Instead of simply presenting concepts, it allows employees to practice, make decisions, and experience consequences inside simulators that mirror their everyday challenges. The result: learning that feels alive, relevant, and immediately applicable. When practice happens before the “critical moment,” skills solidify faster and with greater confidence. Theory becomes judgment. Information becomes action. Learning becomes real mastery.
