Given that smartphone sales are estimated to exceed PC sales by the end of this year, and mobile Internet users are expected to exceed desktop Internet users soon after, I have finally concluded that the time is ripe for mobile learning. I call them the 4 S’s of mobile design. Smartphones have a finite screen width.

Given the increasingly mobile workforce and the emergence of BYOD, increasing pressure is being placed on the organisation to distribute its content to multiple devices. Those discordant comments prompted me to think about it deeper, and I’m glad they did because now I feel I can improve my position. Mindset #1 – Push.

So conventional wisdom dictated that a mobile version of the course would be a smash hit. Most people won’t use their own mobile devices for training. For all the rhetoric in the LMS market about mobile learning, IMHO they are designed principally for the desktop. But my confession is not that it tanked.

If the content library, knowledge base and ESN are mobile accessible, they support mobile learning. In this way, not only do we innovate now, but we have a platform for innovating into the future. Micro-learning and micro-assessments have a rich source of reference content to which remedial feedback can link.

The shining light of mobile learning. I’m not inclined to develop device-specific mobile apps, for example, but rather HTML5 that is web-based and device agnostic. I’m not saying never develop apps; what I am saying is if your platform of choice disappears (Nokia? The archangel of autodidactism. BlackBerry?)

How do you see the impact and importance of big data, adaptive learning, mobile learning and micro-learning? While mobile learning gets a lot of hype – rightly or wrongly – my target audience is office bound. While this isn’t actually mobile learning, it leverages the technology. The moot point of MOOCs.

Aside: Tom’s insight reminds me of one of my earliest blog posts, Text ain’t half bad , and aligns with thoughts I’m having currently about mobile learning. Ruth McElhone assigns points to her students for their contributions to an internal social media platform, and they require 1000 points to pass the course.
