I just read a blog post by Upside Learning and got inspired to write this post.
What I learnt?
Upside Learning has partenered with Skill-Pill of UK and are working on developing 2 minute learning videos that you can access on your mobile. You can access these videos anytime, anywhere. Skill-Pills can cover topics such as leadership. business english, management, personal skills and so on.
Here is an awesome video on 2 minute learning videos:
Here are some demos of 2 minute videos here.
I find this idea of 2 minute videos fascinating. These 2 minute videos can work very well like cheatsheets, or job aids. I think learner analysis and requirements gathering has to be done really extensively because you have to teach someone what they need most in just 2 minutes.
I would love to explore more into the design of these 2 minutes videos. Hopefully Upside Learning will post some 
Meanwhile, please let me know if any of you have created such 2 minute videos. Would love to hear from you.

Hi Rupa,
Thanks for mentioning my post here.
Mcrocourses would be best to be delivered on mobiles to help refresh knowledge or as a quick reference. Skill-Pill (2 min videos) is just one kind of mLearning solution we will see more often. Podcasts work well too and so do interactive mobile content – cluding quizzes/games. We will surely see a lot of action in this space.
