Mobile devices have gained global popularity for business and government uses. Yet, these devices are not very popular with e-learning pedagogies. One reason is the difficulty of interacting with e-learning tools like forums or chats from mobile devices. The goal of this paper is to discuss one approach that can provide a solution to this problem. This approach can enhance e-learning with a platform that can voice-enable any communication and collaboration pedagogy like discussion forums, blogs, wikis and instant messaging from mobile devices. But, a long-term and broader question it tries to pose is "can voice-enablement of e-learning tools increase the use of mobile devices in education and thereby, improving learning methods?" Results from this exploratory study will hopefully lead to proper investments in mobile applications and more research on understanding the role of speech recognition with mobile devices.
