From Learning Circuits two interviews about mlearning in which Clark Quinn says, in response to the following question: In your opinion, what is the ideal type of content to be delivered via mobile learning?

'Minimal! It can be any content, but it can't be a lot. I don't think m-learning is e-learning lite, however. I think it's a different relationship. For one, it's closer to performance support. What it can and should be is an adjunct to some initial concept presentation, but one that keeps the learning active over a long period of time with smaller bits, something we don't do with e-learning.'

From my viewpoint this also requires that the device that is used must also be part of that person's world for other reasons eg phone, pda. Part of workflow in preference to part of a person's social life.
