The rise in online learning opportunities has done several things to the world of education, and one of those is making education more available to people that might not otherwise have the means to afford it. The advent of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) has made higher education more accessible, with thousands of people being able to access courses that were once reserved for the elite few, and often at little to no cost.

Most of today's students have some form of mobile device, as this generation of digital natives have not known life without a smartphone or tablet nearby. The bring your own device (BYOD) trend is gaining more traction in the education landscape as these digital natives come of age and move on to higher education and vocational training environments.  The Echo360 Active Learning Platform was designed for BYOD, giving educators a mobile, easy-to-use platform that provides students access to the learning environment using their own devices, and extends learning beyond the classroom setting.
