Mobile is critical. I’ve also been struck by mobile in Singapore – not a book or paper to be seen on the train – all mobile based.

iPhone shows the way and the next 12 months look really exciting.

Also interesting to look at how mobiles interact with the environment around them and interfaces with users. How does this effect the way we produce content and/or teaching/learning materials?

I completely agree with your comments about mobile technology, however I don’t think it’s as cut-and-dried as saying “mobile is the future”. Desktop and laptop computing is shrinking down to the point of being consider “mobile” – the functionality we currently get from mobile devices is still crude compared to their desktop counterparts – I think the future is desktop-level functionality in mobile sized devices – iPhones are a great example of this direction (although they’re not all the way there).

Rob Lawrence gave a great presentation today – his comments on social media were measured, and his stats and research were fantastic.

I felt the talk from Monash was perhaps a little weak – I certainly didn’t come away having any great new understanding about how they grew a brand, and Lee-Ann came across as a little guarded about Monash’s business.

Your talk was great – I had all three of the other delegates from Newcastle chirping about possibilities in the social media space coming out of your presentation. Bravo!

Thanks for sharing your notes, Brad.
Quick question: any presentation about the mobile web and how universities use it in Asia?
