Mobile learning is in the air. At Upside Learning, we have been doing a fair bit of mobile learning for more than two years now. During this period we’ve tried several things; experimented a lot; and in the process have built a good understanding and capability in the mobile learning space.

Last week we were at Learning Technologies 2012 in London braving the winter chill here in London. We left the show more educated and very tired – after being constantly on our feet for two days. So what was the flavor of the show? I would say, undoubtedly, it was mobile learning. But there are some obstacles ….

A few years ago, Jim Marshall and I surveyed workplace learning professionals about elearning. Although we set out to learn about the contours of the elearning terrain, our project revealed much about instructional design practice today.

As much as we may not want to admit it, a successful course isn’t all about content. We spend a lot of time discussing instructional design on this blog, but less on visual design. There are obvious reasons for this, but it’s also worth noting that the two are linked. Your pop-ups are a usability nightmare.

Some of that may be material you cut from other courses, or it might be a micro course you developed a year or two ago, or it might be a series of popular blog posts. When it comes to courses, there are two basic ways to repurpose content: split a large course into mini courses, or bundle mini courses into something bigger.
