Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

Darin Hammond has done it again. If you haven’t noticed, he’s becoming one of MY favorite bloggers. This article truly explains why I do what I do, and why he does what he does. It’s totally correct its point. We don’t do it for the money (although that would be nice to be making a living doing what we do–maybe someday, Darin!), but for the sheer thrill of sharing and bringing together a community. I’m learning a lot from his blog–go bookmark it in your browser now (after bookmarking this one)!

I am so thrilled to see this! This is exactly the sort of thing that m-learning is about. Somebody finally got the memo! Okay, I’m sure that somebody else out there got the memo too, but this is exactly what many m-learning evangelists have been preaching about for more than a year. Look at that mobile interactive learning! It’s awesome! Think of all the applications! 

 

In my imagination, this is where we should have always been going with m-learning, especially when it comes to engineering maintenance of any kind. How many how-to videos have you seen? This is just a variation of that, but takes it to a new level. Kudos to this company–keep it up!

Darin Hammond hits it on the head again! I have written in the past about how I thought I was a sub-standard writer because I couldn’t write the kind of flowery language that was required of me in school, and yet it turns out that I was on the right track with what came instinctually to me all along. Thanks for the reinforcement, Darin! This is truly what technical communicators need to keep in mind, and it’s what we need to teach our children so that they can be better professional writers, no matter what field they enter.

RJ Jacquez it at it again–reminding us that the mobile revolution is not over yet! These stats are very important, because it shows that mobile technology isn’t a fad or going away anytime soon. While m-learning is an important factor, I’m starting to see how mobile is going to impact all aspects of life’s documentation and content. I hope to write more about that soon.
