Hi Abel,
That's an important question. The short answer, is yes the content will be mobile friendly.
Cheers

More information on how we do this
This past year we have been focusing considerable energy on developing responsive CSS frameworks so that we can support the growing number of learners accessing materials using mobile devices, but also improving the look and feel of the content. (The standard Mediawiki layout is a little dated.)
You can take a peek at this early
prototype for the Open content licensing for educators course which uses a responsive framework for mobile devices. This mobile friendly website was generated from an
outline of wiki pages. (You will recall that the UNESCO Office for the Pacific states provided a little funding support for the development of the original course materials which we have now reused for a mobile friendly version.)
With the support from the
New Zealand National Commission for UNESCO we can take this a step further. Institutions and individuals will be able to host their own OER course websites, for example, using WordPress on their own domains. In this way individuals and institutions will have control over their own OER courses.
Basically, an outline of any collection of wiki pages can be exported for a mobile friendly website. The technology will automatically generate the site navigation, next and previous arrows etc. Users will be able to customise the look and feel of their websites. The Digital Skills for Collaborative OER development course will help educators learn how to do this.
The OERu network uses a wide variety of delivery technologies, so we need solutions to integrate OER courses across a wide range of technologies including LMSs, content management systems, static websites etc. The power of the wiki is that we have a scalable technology with robust version control which is easy for educators to edit. Most software versioning tools are too complex for non-technical folk to master.
Reuse will be easy - just create a new outline page which is simply a bullet list of the pages you would like to incorporate into a mobile friendly course site.
Moving forward one step at a time to support mainstream adoption of OER :-).
