Making Sense of mLearning for Your Organization
Join us for the first eSIG event of 2011! You’ll want to attend this session if you want to:
- Learn about the characteristics of the mobile learning (mLearning) industry, including hot vendors in the mLearning
- Identify key design challenges and technical considerations associated with implementation of mobile learning
Description
If there are more people who own a mobile phone than a toothbrush*, it's no wonder mobile learning is a hot topic in the learning industry! This session will provide an overview of the current state of the mLearning industry and explore key considerations in this space such as design concepts, technical considerations, and who's hot (and who's not!) in the mLearning vendor landscape. Finally, you'll learn about some of the challenges and successes of an mLearning pilot recently conducted with over 200 staff at a professional services firm.
