What the learning objectives can be acheived? What are the best cases for use?

Consider the following partial list of possibilities for the use of mobile devices in learning and performance support contexts:

• Pre-work for  class session (introductory material, set context, etc.)
• Follow-up for class session (reinforcement of key points)
• Performance Support / Just-In-Time / Reference solution (for cases where laptop/desktop access is problematic, and users need info on the job)
• Review of key concepts for exam preparation
• Providing summary or key content only (such as book abstracts)
• Corporate communications (CEO updates or other regular organization news)
• For formal learning, especially where the content can be broken up into very discrete pieces (such as language learning)
• Assessments of learning.
