Not just confined to communication, mobile is now the instrument to learn, download and share learning tools. After reading this article, I am very well convinced that mobile learning will transgress all other mediums in a very short span of time. This article was really worth the read.

This has always been the case, even in physical instructor led training, learners will absorb nothing if they aren't motivated in the first place. No reason why it shouldn't apply to any sort of instructional technology including mobile. Sathiraju, you make a valid observation; for any platform to be successful, learner motivation is key.
