Video based e-learning materials are getting more and more interest of a public. Youtube like websites are becoming popular and people go to these types of websites for learning new skills or competencies.

Karolinska University Hospital and Ericsson Sweden AB are collaborating together to create similar experiences for health professionals in developing countries using mobile devices and communicating via mobile infrastructure (GPRS, 3G).
