Recently the New Media Consortium (NMC) sent out a survey to their membership looking for examples of member's mobile technology projects.

They have now posted over 40 responses along with their descriptions and URLs. I am still going through it and finding some interesting projects.

Additionally they have posted a survey of favorite iPhone/iPod Touch apps.

Thanks for sharing, NMC!

This week I had the opportunity to talk with Sun Microsystem's CTO of Sun Learning Services. He posted a video on You Tube this week of their Mobile Learning initiative using the iPhone and iPod Touch. (See below for video)

Training videos are available "just in time, just the right size and exactly what they are looking for." For those without WiFi connectivity content can be preloaded using RSS feeds through iTunes. Corporate security is enforced in the background, only allowing access to those authorized.

Elliott Masie started a free social network for learning professionals a week ago and already has 2740 members. There are 27 separate groups in which members may participate. The second most popular (after Instructional Design) is Mobile Learning with 139 members. Yea! There have been some great comments, questions and discussions.

As an example, Mete Tuneri posted a link to their m-learning demo for AstraZeneca. They put together textual content plus more visual assets, sounds and interactivity. You can see the demo here .

Although there are a number of examples of mobile learning and performace support here on this site, the most common question in sessions and from trainers unfamiliar with mobile learning is about examples. For example, "Show me what you can really accomplish (or learn) with one of those small screens."

Unfortunately many of the best examples are proprietary and the owners consider them to be their competitive advantage.

So, while continuing to seek out and post examples, I decided to put together a demo for input and to track the time required to create it. Not a finished project, but a good draft completed in about 3 hours is now available at http://crisisresponse.mobi . Check it out and give us your feedback. We'd love to hear your suggestions for improvement.
