提出前一种观点（移动学习会退出）的是Roger Schank博士。身为情景学习的提倡者，Schank博士认为，学习是发生在具体的情景之中的。学习者需要在一定的情景之下有大量练习的机会。整天的盯着狭小的手机屏幕并不实际，而且这样的学习也不会在乘车的时候发生。下面是Schank博士的原话：
"Mobile e-learning will go away. There is always the latest thing in e-learning that everyone must do. One of my least favorite of these is mobile e-learning. E-learning will not happen, at least not seriously, on mobile phones. Why not? Because it takes time to learn something. You have to really understand a situation. You have to practice a skill. You have to consider alternatives. You have to create deliverables. At least you do for the e-learning that I build. This takes time—a lot of time. It was seriously suggested recently in a full year all day every day course I was building, that we needed to make it available on mobile phones. I don't know about you, but staring at mobile phone for an hour makes my eyes hurt. Try doing it all day for a year. It makes no sense. We don't learn anything instantly. Real learning is not done on a train or a bus. The kinds of courses that can be delivered that way will be shown to not be particularly useful. " Roger C.
