Articulate on iPads?
I agree with Ethan above. I think the real revolution in mobile devices will be performance support. We've been moving more and more of our course work to performance support that includes orienters and explainers for that "just enough" boost to get the job done.
A few of our efforts have used trackables, so we abstract the trackable elements into the LMS and everything else is right there in the EPSS. No log in. Easy to access. And all of the task guides and just enough training materials are right where you need them.
We've seen some studies in the military environment that indicate there are two schools of though surrounding the efficacy of mobile learning:
1. If the organization doesn't provide the equipment, most won't do it on their own.
2. After the initial innovation grace, acceptance drops way off.
Working the culture and making the device a part of the job can overcome these barriers. I really think that the newer devices really are far and away better than older devices in some of these studies. The thing that hasn't changed is the nature of people.
I only know that I don't want to custom tune a solution for a particular device. I just want to publish once and have it work reasonably anywhere. I don't think that's too much to ask:P
