Salon 15
Developing a mobile learning strategy involves a lot more than great instructional design. A clear path for implementation makes sure your products aren’t just another app on your learners’ mobile devices. This means making sure your learners have easy access to the right content at the right time, but it also means giving learners an experience that inspires trust in both your content and your organization.
In this session, you’ll explore the things you need to consider when developing an implementation plan for mobile learning. Using lessons learned from real-world examples, you’ll learn about planning for updates, the importance of a marketing plan, and other issues that can make or break the success of mobile learning.
In this session, you will learn:
- How your mobile design drives learner engagement (or doesn’t)
- How to develop a long-term content management strategy
- How to collect learning data without overwhelming your users
- What information you need to know to determine whether your mobile learning is effective
- How to plan for updates, how often you should do them, and why
