Of course, it depends on the scope of your course; I could see small objectives getting met, or if a mobile device is your *only* device (cf some of the developing world), or if the mobile device has a reading-worthy screen (cf Kindle), but in general I’d use the mobile device more for quick access (cf The Zen of Palm) rather than a full university course.

Does this hold true even in the formal setting where learners would still be involved in formal learning, but the mobile device is the main medium for accessing course materials, and interaction?
