I have just heard about JotYou, and agree it’s really cool. I’ve been thinking about some applications as well. It’s definitely a context-sensitive capability, and consequently really opens up some interesting opportunities. Scavenger hunts for one.

Nice blog (great title)!

I totally agree that mobile learning is not about courses on phones. Context is absolutely crucial to all learning and by going mobile we can add back some valuable dimensions of a point of need – namely time and location.

Have you come across Jotyou? I wrote a few thoughts on Location based Learning on my blog:

I’d be interested in your thoughts.

Lars

P.S. You may not remember but we met nearly two years ago at SRI when I came over to US as part of a Government Mission entitled “Beyond eLearning” – hope you’re keeping well.
