Why Video Will Accelerate Mobile Learning

Mobile has been touted as an unmatched sales and marketing channel

. But what everyone seems to be missing is mobile's potential to also become an outstanding platform for learning. 4G WiMAX networks will finally give mobile the speed and capacity to deliver broadcast quality video. And yes what this means is that we can expect the same proliferation of ads and movies on our mobile devices that presently inundate the airwaves.

Mobile Video Can Do Much More.

What motivates us most is not praise, recognition or reward but the simple fact that we are making progress toward a desired goal. And video, when applied to learning, enables us to achieve our goals faster, easier and with longer-lasting results, often times doubling the amount of information we're able to remember.

Video learning when applied to a ubiquitous mobile device becomes extremely powerful. Think of the hobbyist, the professional, even the consumer all of whom will now have the ability to leverage mobile video to learn about anything, anytime, anywhere and at any pace they desire.

As a graduate student, I earned my tuition by driving a truck during the day and attending classes at night. Sleep was a constant problem as was the opportunity to find the free time to study; there didn't seem to be any. Nor was there sufficient time to get to the library for the research articles I needed for my Masters thesis. My solution was to start carrying my books in the truck, reviewing my notes or catching up on an assignment whenever there was a lull in the route. And, if I happened to pass a library, I invariably stopped, ran inside, and quickly checked out the card catalog for books and journals I could use for citations.

Now imagine how much easier and more productive all of that effort would have been if instead of books and note pads I instead had a mobile device with access to the Internet and its stores of information.

Cisco projects that video will occupy an estimated 66% of mobile traffic by 2013. My bet is that a good portion of that traffic will be targeted towards learning.
