One way to meet their needs is by offering options. For example, mixed modality, a hybrid of face-to-face and online learning, gives students the flexibility of mobile learning combined with the on-campus experience. Studies have shown that this hybrid learning style has the potential to increase student learning while lowering attrition rates compared to equivalent, fully online courses. These online options coupled with advances in digital and mobile learning can actually help us better serve students who are underprepared. Intelligent Tutoring Systems that incorporate a self-paced learning model address the simple fact that students learn at different speeds, and perhaps those who have less experience with technology still have the opportunity to succeed in a mobile learning environment. In addition, Open Educational Resources (OER) and e-books along with podcast and video availability on mobile devices have also enhanced our capacity to reach students.
