Purpose

This paper's aim is to outline trends and recent developments in the design, developments and use of mobile learning.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper uses interviews with key players in the mobile learning development sector, along with complementary research.

Findings

It is found that: mobile learning is developing fast – not just in terms of applications but also in terms of its philosophy and standards; mobile learning can offer great value to learners because it can connect employees to the knowledge and expertise they need, when and where they need it; and new standards, authoring tools and authoring approaches to mobile learning are developing.

Practical implications

Merely transferring classroom based training to “e”, and especially mobile, learning does not really work. New technology, techniques and interoperable standards need to be – and are being – developed for mobile learning.
