Now, many look back on prior enthusiasms for technology-based learning with tales to tell of dashed hopes. With hindsight, they know that nothing is automatic, not even mobile learning, and that success does not come easily. No longer do executives see technology as learning fairy dust.

Although we set out to learn about the contours of the elearning terrain, our project revealed much about instructional design practice today. Were learning professionals relying on webinars, on podcasts, on mobile learning? If doubts and fears cause lame entries, training alone won’t improve performance.

Most of what is said and written about mobile learning and support touts potential and points to the future. Current studies confirm a faint pulse for mobile in enterprise learning today. “Are you offering programs that rely on mobile for delivery of learning and support now?”

Our focus– when people are doing e-learning, what are they doing? You hear about mobile everything, immersive learning, informal strategies and performance support. But that’s not what workplace learning people reported that they are up to. What forms does this approach to training take?

We want to use mobile devices, but which mobile? There is great excitement about the potential of mobile devices for learning and support. It is hard to ignore the benefits of learning and information on demand, in close proximity to work. But there is more to it than a decision about native vs. mobile.

That’s how I described the status of mobile learning in an article in eLearn magazine ten months ago.

You can use mobile technology to make sure growth and support happen whenever, wherever—at the learner’s convenience—rather than in a single, information-packed session.
