Mobile devices and applications have finally worked their way into the learning landscape, enabling organizations of all sizes to leverage modern wireless wonders to deliver training, performance support, and business communications to their on-the-go workers. Great devices and rapid technology adoption don’t always outweigh the myriad challenges that hold back mLearning projects, from scaling from smaller pilots to larger implementations. Next-generation ecosystems require next-generation tools, approaches, and teams to ensure adoption, continued utilization, and success.

In this session you will be empowered to move beyond newly minted mobile learning strategies to start applying an array of valuable lessons learned from case studies across industries and geographies. You will learn what works and what doesn’t and where hype ends and reality begins. You will explore proven processes for selecting the right tools, devices, audiences, and objectives that can bring experience and confidence to training teams who have yet to introduce mobile options to address their field training, performance support, and business communications needs.

In this session, you will learn:

• Which mobile devices are practical for on-the-go learning
• Which authoring tools, libraries, and media types are effective for mobile
• Why yesterday’s approaches to progress tracking and reporting fail to meet tomorrow’s cloud-based demands
• Why mobile learning project teams are bigger, broader, and more multidisciplinary than their traditional online counterparts

Audience:
Novice to advanced designers, developers, project managers, and managers.

Technology discussed in this session:
Apple iOS, Android, BlackBerry, and Microsoft Windows Phone.
