Mobile learning is coming. For some of you, it’s already here. We’re all trying to prepare ourselves for this monumental shift in the L&D industry—a shift from one-and-done e-learning to blended learning curriculums that are driven largely in part by a need for more reinforcement. We know how to teach, but getting it to stick is the hard part. And when you want to reinforce content, what better way is there than to make it accessible anytime, anywhere?
移动化学习的时代来了。对某些人来说，这种模式的学习可能已经存在。我们都在为在学习与发展行业里程碑式的转变做好准备—从一次就结束的线上学习到由学习强化需求所驱动的大部分混合式学习课程。我们很清楚如何进行教学，但要坚持一直跟进学员学习才是最难的地方。而当你想要强化学习内容时，有什么方法比让学员能够便利地随时随地获取学习内容更好呢？
But going mobile isn’t easy. There are big challenges to overcome, some that we might not have any control over, such as limitations of our authoring tools or bulky, outdated LMS requirements. Maybe that’s why commercial web pages are so beautiful, functional, and responsive, while training is often… not.
但是，要让学习移动化并不简单。在这个过程中，我们需要克服许多大的挑战，有一些挑战可能还是我们完全没有管控权的，比如授权工具的限制或是庞大、过时的学习管理系统的要求。也许这就是为什么商业网站网页总是看起来很美观、功能强大而且反馈迅速，而传统的培训常常都做不到这些。
What Is the Mobile Mindset? 什么是移动思维？
So what can we do? We can change the way we design and develop our learning.
那么我们能做些什么呢？我们能够改变设计与开发学习课程的方式。
That’s where the mobile mindset comes in. The mobile mindset is a way of thinking that prioritizes mobile design best practices, whether you’re building a mobile learning solution or not. Research shows that the same design and development principles that help make something mobile friendly also make learning more effective and increase adoption.
这也是我们要应用移动思维的地方。移动思维是一种不管你是否在创建移动学习解决方案时都始终以设计最好的移动化学习内容为核心的思维方式。调查显示，能够帮助课程变得更加移动化的设计与开发原则同样也能够使得学习内容更有效，学员的采纳率也得到提高。
By explaining Gestalt Principles of Organization, sharing research on design’s impact on learning, and analyzing design choices on already successful mobile solutions, we can prepare you for the mobile future.
在阐明组织的格式塔原理、分享课程设计对学习效果影响的调查及分析已获成功的移动学习解决方案设计方法后，我们就能准备好迎接移动化学习的未来了。
Be Like Water, My Friend 我的朋友，要像水一样
Bruce Lee has a lot more to teach than just martial arts. In a moment of brilliant philosophy, he instructs us to be like water:
除了中国功夫，李小龙还教了我们很多东西，他提倡我们要，为人如水：
“You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle.”
“你必须要无形无相，就像水一样。当你往杯子里倒水时，水会聚成杯子的形状。而当你像瓶子里倒水时，水又会聚成瓶子的形状。”
This is exactly the kind of thinking we need to adopt when designing our learning solutions. It is the heart of the mobile mindset. Because it doesn’t matter whether you’re ready to launch a mobile learning solution today, even desktop solutions will improve if you take this approach.
这正是我们在设计学习解决方案时需要的思维，也是移动思维的核心。这种思维的价值不仅仅在于你要开发移动化学习方案，即便是桌面方案，如果你采用这种方法，效果也会得到改善。
When you design your e-learning to be in a fixed-width authoring tool shell, you’re building a house of cards that will only make it harder for you to have great learning solutions in the future. This is a simple example, sure, but it rings true. Even going beyond authoring tools, the basic graphic design of our learning solutions can be another rigid obstacle to designing great learning solutions. It’s important to be conscious of our space when designing e-learning. Keep in mind: just because you have a desktop monitor’s amount of space, does not mean you need to fill every inch of it.
如果你只能在授权工具下的固定限制内设计线上学习的话，你就仿佛是在建纸牌屋，这只会妨碍你后续的搭建工作，也就是妨碍你设计更好的学习解决方案。这个例子很简单，但绝对是有道理的。即便你能够超越授权工具的限制，所谓的学习解决方案的基本平面设计也会限制你的发挥。在设计线上学习项目时，非常重要的一点是考虑空间。我们一定要记住：不管你是不是只有一个桌面大的监控空间，你都必须把学员的学习空间填满。(本文于2017年发布，由培训江湖翻译)
