It is certainly well written and has been expertly researched providing a lot of detail. I also agree that the book is written for managers and executives, but the book clearly skews towards those managers and executives who already have a strong training and learning background. Gary takes a very broad view of mobile learning, which I agree with, including areas such as performance support, mobile access to product information (from a sales perspective) and mobile data collection. It is this broad perspective that I believe makes mobile learning applicable to corporate departments way beyond Human Resources and Training. For those who are not as well versed in learning theory, there probably needs to be a stronger case for how mLearning applies. Otherwise, Gary’s book has been a very good read and one I have recommended to a number of people already. I am very much looking forward to Clark’s book as well.

The issue of the intended audience is critical for understanding the purpose of any book, and you are correct about the audience for The Mobile Learning Edge. I have had several reviews of the book now by consultants, who hope that decision makers will read the book before they call in vendors of any type to work with them on mobile learning. The vendors want the decision makers to know the material in my book so that they don’t have to start at the beginning and explain the basic concepts to them.

I look forward to reading your book, Clark.

Gary
