Recently TrainingZone.co.uk ran an article headlined 'Whatever happened to the mlearning craze?' which suggested that mobile learning "will probably fade into obscurity".

My immediate response to this is that firstly, mobile learning is anything but a passing craze. And secondly, in answer to the question 'whatever happened to?', it is very much happening.

Admittedly, behind the headline was a fair and balanced article by TrainingZone.co.uk technology editor John Stokdyk, geared very much to the commercial training world.

But it is worth pointing out that in the further education and training sector, mlearning – using hand-held devices such as mobile phones, ipods and other portable multimedia players to support teaching and learning - is steadily evolving.
