Global eLearning is a growth market, driven by its benefits of cost reduction, flexibility, and operational ease of use. The creation of a truly global training strategy requires synergy between several areas of expertise. You've invested heavily in instructional design and recruited the best mobile app developers. Now you’ve created a powerful product and you want to offer it across the world in other languages.
In this session you will learn about the common pitfalls encountered when localizing an eLearning product for a mobile environment. You will learn several techniques for ensuring that your product will have the same powerful impact you intended it to have for your English-speaking audiences.
