Biomedical Knowledge Flow: The Current Landscape |Biomedgrid

Some systematic reviews have shown that Biomedical research studies concerned with mobile learning pedagogy are still very small in number, and even fewer are conducted at the actual place of learning. This means that informal learning is often not observed or investigated Tlili, et al. [1], and much biomedical knowledge flow is therefore left undiscovered. By its very asynchronous nature most mobile learning is informal and not context dependent. Uses for devices continuously advance which increases links to other functions (e.g., students can now submit assignments via Dropbox) but similarly this also brings new problems to solve regarding usability and navigation of the learning [2]. It also brings new threats i.e., malware and hacking [3]. As Artificial Intelligence now assists with data-searching this also brings with it ethical risks concerning GDPR [4]. Security and ease of use should therefore be at the heart of all future designs for knowledge to flow.
