Kanchan, thanks for the thorough list! Much appreciated.

Stephen, thanks for the pointer. Wikis are key to social learning, and ubiquitous access would be quite valuable.

BJ, hope to connect at DevLearn.

Hi Clark,

I’d love to chat with you about mobile learning questions, concerns, etc. Perhaps we can catch up at DevLearn? If not, maybe we can schedule a call for the week after…

I don’t know how you are defining “mobile learning”, but if it includes searchable, Web-based, internal wikis, then I would contact Sean Murray at RealTime Performance. They are developing proprietary wikis for management/leadership learning that can be accessed by any device that can connect to the Web.

Hi Clark,

Here’s a list of some questions I have.

I would like to know how feasibility of mobile learning solutions – for the client and for the learner.
Does the client need different platform/applications to host it?
Do learners need specific gadgets to view mlearning courses?
When and why should an ID recommend mlearning as a solution to clients?
Does mlearning support all types of ID strategies – scenario-based, simulation etc.
Do IDs need to work any restrictions when designing mlearning – limited word count, limited use of graphics?

Thanks,
Kanchan

Promise substantive helpers a copy of the book, and you’ll get more recruits. Pfeiffer can afford it.
