The growing adoption of mobile learning in the enterprise is driving training teams to review (and likely rethink) their current selections for authoring tools used to develop content. Today’s eLearning developers need to create and deploy courseware that works as effectively for their smartphones and tablet devices as it does on a desktop. Virtually all vendors now see the importance of catering to an ever-mobile audience, but which tools and techniques serve the market best?

In this workshop you will reach beyond the slick marketing campaigns by offering practical advice and sound examples that address the needs of today’s practitioners. You will explore a thorough analysis of current and upcoming offerings from all the leading tool vendors and compare/contrast their capabilities, approaches, benefits, and limitations. You will leave this workshop with a set of templates and documented best practices to assist designers in creating their own mobile learning materials.

In this session, you will learn:

• The shifting needs of today’s content development
• The strengths and weaknesses of today’s authoring tools
• The questions to ask to make a purchasing decision that works for your organization
• How different tools’ content looks and functions on different devices

Audience:
Novice and intermediate designers, developers, project managers, and managers.
