In this paper the authors report the current developments around the Mobi4D platform. Mobi4D is a communication services delivery platform based on the JAIN SLEE compliant and certified Mobicents Application Server. It provides agnostic access to services; an abstraction between the end user access device, content providers and the underlying telecommunication networks and protocols. This paper will also discuss Mobi4D from the viewpoint of opportunities it presents for Mobile Learning Research and Development explorations using it as proof of concept. Demos of some of the pilot services being developed on Mobi4D will also be presented showing how such platform can help address challenges faced in nursing education through using mobile communication.
