How Gamification, Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), Online, Mobile and Personalized Learning are the Future of Learning and Development.

However, here we are in 2016 and already we have an almost daily onslaught of headlines on tech sites advising how the impending iPhone 7 will be thinner, waterproof, offer wireless charging and will also controversially drop the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack.

The move will allow Apple to create a sleek, sexier handset, but will also require users to either purchase blue tooth connecting wireless headphones, whereas audiophiles and those who want to protect their thin phone's battery consumption will be obliged to buy a potentially expensive offering from Apple with a lightning connector.
