As iPads and mobile technology become more ingrained in all areas of our lives, we need to find ways to use the same tools in learning. But this shift can be extremely challenging for learning professionals and organizations to make.
In this session you will explore a case study of how a company moved learning from the classroom to the tablet. You will examine real examples of what has been done as well as the impact on participation and learning. You will discuss the challenges encountered along the way, what was learned, and how that changed plans for the future. You will discover how the mobile learning solution influenced user adoption by providing a mobile experience that is just as effective, if not more so, than learning via a computer.
In this session, you will learn:
- Considerations for designing a mobile interface
- How to implement a mobile solution
- How to use mobile capabilities to drive adoption
- Challenges and possible solutions to problems that arise with mobile implementation
