Knowledge: What is the focus and purpose?
Assessment: How will performance be observed?
Community: How will it impact the class context?

mLearning naturally fits with good teaching strategies
And these strategies are more important, because attention can be easily diverted

Levels of coordination with course
• Branding matches (meh)• Content is coordinated (good)• Pedagogy is adapted to device/context
(better)• Persistent student identity across contexts
(best)
All four together are ideal.
