A mobile solution is not about the right answer, it’s about the right answer for you. You need to understand the tradeoffs involved in deciding how you’re going to go about creating a mobile solution. Mobile web may be slow and clunky on any particular device. Case in point: what’s your development platform?

People are accessing the internet more from mobile devices than desktops, and some people only access the internet via mobile! Are you mobilizing?

As a followup to my last post , I was thinking how you would use the different modes of mobile (the Four C’s ): Content, Compute, Communicate, & Capture, to support the different layers of learning. It’s indicative, not exhaustive, but it helps me to try to get concrete about what you might do.

In the webinar I did the day before yesterday, one of the questions I was asked was what I thought the future of mobile would be. My first response was that mobile wasn’t going away, and that we’d see more converged devices. They’ll be able to tap into these to do ever more clever context-sensing and reacting.

So the question is, how do we do personal knowledge mastery with mobile? Most of what you do on the desktop, particularly social networking, is doable on a mobile device. I’m not a big fan of ‘learning’ on a mobile device, maybe a tablet in transit or something, but not courses on a phone.

This is similar to the way I’d seen Palm talk about the difference between laptops and mobile, I was thinking about the time you spent in using your devices.

I was thinking about the different ways you can be mobile, and I think it’s broader than most people think. For once, I’m not particularly happy with it, but in the spirit of ‘thinking out loud’… The notion is there that you’re mobile when you’re not at your desk with your desktop or even laptop.

I’m talking mobile. When I originally was talking about mobile, I was doing so from a perspective of augmenting our brains. The 4C’s framework was a way to think about core mobile affordance from a point of view of what mobile offers. And, I think a previous exercise in thinking transformation is valuable here.

I suggest mobile is a gateway to the appropriate thinking. I wrote about mobile before writing the Revolution book (as my then-publisher required), but even there I laid out the case how mobile was not (just) about formal learning. Indeed, when you look at the way people use mobile, it’s very different.

They’re talking about performance support, and differentiate between EPSS (electronic performance support systems), PSS (performance support systems), and MPSS (mobile performance support systems).
