Mobile devices tomorrow are not what we see today. But bold predictions like Roger’s would get people to chat and interact.

In medicine, busy residents use mobile devices for quick information updates, so we are planning a series of 15-20 minute modules at their request. Learning doesn’t have to be in the traditional 1 hour format. Discussion boards for more thoughtful posts will be included. I’m surprised that Roger Schank is so traditional in his view of learning.

Various people in the world take the business loans from different creditors, just because that's easy.

Jill – I fully agree. Everything I learn for my job is Just-In-Time Education. I’ve heard my generation referred to as the “Google Generation” because we literally have the world at our finger tips. Instead of reading a 1000 pages book I can simply get the PDF version and search for specific keywords of what I’m interested in learning and not all the other stuff.
Roger – I respectfully disagree. Devices do matter! I’m not saying iPhone is KING or that any specific device should be used, but rather that having your eLearning content anywhere you go and can scale up and down to any size screen…. is really important. People nowadays are always on the go and learning has to conform to their lifestyle, not vice versa.
Real learning can and does happen in short periods of time. I can read a tutorial from a blog on the latest Photoshop effect and try it out in a short period of time and retain it. While I think it is false to assume that people can just sit down and watch a 30 minute tutorial and say they’ve “learned it”. I think if that video is followed up by an interactive exercise, that right there, is an effective form of eLearning.

Geez. Doesn’t anyone think we can learn by listening? You don’t have to read a phone. (My eyes are failing, too, Roger.)

Two things.
1. Roger did not include “Bye Bye, Phone” in his submission. That was added by the editor (moi).
2. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how the kind of learning I do now as a professional is drastically different from what I did as an English literature and journalism student, namely, that I no longer read closely and deeply. All the deep learning I did was in books and on paper, whereas in my professional career, it’s exclusively online, quick, shallow. Bite-sized. Multi-tasked. I _could_ read deeply online or on a mobile device, but I typically don’t unless I set my mind to it. It’s not part of the lifestyle. (I’m in the “younger” rather than “older” group.)

I have found that when I attack sacred cows I am frequently misunderstood. I attacked Chomsky for assuming that syntax was the central issue in language and am still being ridiculed for that position in linguistics. Focus on teh real issues, not the easy ones. Devices don’t matter. You all need to think about changing how learning works in the world of education. iphone apps for kids are nice. Even I produce iphone apps for little kids (my company is Milomax) to learn from. Real deep learning will not take place in 20 minute increments. Get over it and do something important.
