Made it back from mLearnCon 2011 in San Jose in one piece, after a cooped-up 24 hours on a sardine can of a plane.

It was interesting to be at the event as an exhibitor, interacting with visitors to our stall and observing other products and technology at work with the other exhibitors.

Some trends seemed clear, while the direction in which mobile instructional technology is heading isn’t quite certain yet. The diversity in solutions and the ways organizations are leveraging them make for many forks in the road.

Recently, the first mLearnCon covering the A-Z in mobile learning was held in San Diego. Amit had summarized about it in his posts on How To Create Successful M-Learning Strategy: mLearnCon – Part I and Part II and Interesting Mobile Statistic.

Tomi Ahonen delivered the first keynote address at the mLearnCon last month in San Diego. His presentation was full of interesting statistics about mobile usage among teens and across geographies – all very useful pointers for m-learning developers. His presentation is now available here.

I have pulled out some slides I found interesting.
