High-level Considerations Moving from “E” to “M” Learning

The Rationale for Mobile Learning

It is imperative to determine why you want to embark on a mobile learning initiative. There four most popular rationales for the effort are:

1. As Disintermediation Defense

2. As Distribution Channel

3. For Financial Reasons

4. The Effectiveness Play

John Coné, T&D Magazine (June 2013)

Page 13: Webinar - Getting Started with mLearning

What’s the Business Case for Going Mobile?

• Is your learning community reliant on mobile devices?

• Do you know the mobile devices learners carry?

• Is bandwidth/connectivity predictable?

• Is there lot of media to be delivered?

• Do you need sophisticated visual effects?

• Is tracking desired/essential?

• Is it important to create content without relying on proprietary software or native apps?

• Can you benefit from the “CODA” (create once/deploy anywhere) approach for learners?

Flexibility for ISVs to define & implement their own security extensions to meet their requirements; support for MTN/ESN

Tops in Class for security with options galore. BES controls network, content apps & all configurations. MTN, ESN & PIN supported on next-gen devices.

SSL support is native for IE browsers. MTN is supported for Windows 8 devices. Many IT teams are “Microsoft Shops”

Full SSL support as well as HTML5 spec support. On device encryption is 256-bit and works well. ESN supported.

“Open” approach is generally less secure than proprietary solutions.

Declining market share for OEM; IT restrictions present challenges for app deployments.

Available encryption methods in .NET are not as advanced as iOS, BB10 or Android.

Initially consumer focused but now big in enterprise with iOS 7.0. MTN is not supported.

Mobile Devices Handle Security Differently

Encrypted Content

Addl. Device-Level Security • Encrypted Content/Data • Validated Credentials • Verify Device via MTN, ESN* • Pin Code Confirm (3 Strike Rule) • Remote Wipe from Server • Rules-based Time Restrictions • SSO Support (Token/Fed/Open ID)

Help, Hints & Happiness Moving from “E” to “M” Learning

Page 22: Webinar - Getting Started with mLearning

Going “M” from “E” – General Approaches #1

• Just-in-Time vs. Just-in-Case

• Content Strategy Option: Consider passive with active elements versus fully active

• Yin - Increase your usage of rich media assets (e.g., video, audio, interactive exercises) when practical

• Yang – Increase your usage of text-based resources (e.g., PDFs, ePUBs) when possible

Page 23: Webinar - Getting Started with mLearning

Going “M” from “E” – General Approaches #2

• Use of Nuggets vs. Courses (is shorter better?)

• Think “Touch Events” vs. “Clicks”

• Lack of “Standard Online Features” – Popup Windows

– Mouse Overs

– Performance of embedded media

• The “Mobile Experience” vs. “The Online Course” – More social?

– More distractions?

– Less linear?

– Less effective?

Page 24: Webinar - Getting Started with mLearning

• Generally favor video over audio

• Simple animations over static images if possible

• Support across devices?

• Support for low speed networks?

Going “M” from “E” – Use of Media

Page 25: Webinar - Getting Started with mLearning

Going “M” from “E” – Device Differences

• Handsets vs. tablets (today)

• Intelligent displays & wearables (tomorrow)

• Display size limitations

• Standard vs. responsive web approaches

Page 26: Webinar - Getting Started with mLearning

Going “M” from “E” – Connectivity Concerns

• Connect to the Internet for content/resources?

• Connect results back to LMS/TM platform?

• Connect learners to the learning community?

• ??

Page 27: Webinar - Getting Started with mLearning

Going “M” from “E” – Tracking Methods

• Is training “FYI” or “FTR” (for the record)?

• Does the learning experience need to transfer from the online realm into the mobile realm?

• SCORM-level tracking? xAPI tracking?

Page 28: Webinar - Getting Started with mLearning

Going “M” from “E” – Other Considerations

• Do Your Learners Like/Use Mobile Devices Now?

• What’s Your Timeframe? What’s Your Budget?

• What Tools Do You Use Now?

• What Constraints Might IT Place on Your Plans? – Is BYOD your mobile trend? Or is it not allowed?
