with these devices.

7. Have you already included the

Enterprise IT is changing as well – and so is eLearning:

8. Optimal planning of
Mobile Learning

9. Mobile is cool… but better ask yourself a few questions
to get started:
What are your expectations around mobile?
Which problems do you need to solve?
What should be mobile – learners, content, devices?
Which additional value will your learners have because of mobile?
Which specific problem does mobile solve for learners?
How would learners use mobile devices?
Who runs and manages those devices?
Which parts of a blended learning experience should be on a mobile device?

10. What does a „mobile“
course look like?
Now you know what you want, at least
kind of. And you ask yourself
Here we go. Take a look at an example
made for tablets by LearnChamp:

12. You can see that
the way information is
structured for the learner
differs strongly from
„conventional courses“.

13. the distribution of
content is more
challenging
But this also means that
from a technical perspective.

14. Pros and Cons of native and web apps:
NATIVE APP WEB APP
+ - + -
The device‘s capacities
(e.g. memory) can be
used
One single App for
each device
Always latest status of
content for the user
Limitation of ability for
offline use
Good performance
Distribution via
App Store (e.g. time,
updates, external
approval, publication
rights)
No third-party involved
in the approval process
Low local storage
Runs offline
Different programming
languages needed
SCORM-Tracking
Probably bad
performance
Better User Experience
(App is always
available)

15. eLearning content
for all devices

16. Today it‘s not only desktop anymore.
Does that sound familiar to you?

17. You are using a smartphone, a
laptop and a tablet -
and so are your
learners!

18. To meet the new requirements
for responsive content
Adapt Learning has
been created.
https://community.adaptlearning.org/

19. Amongst other collaborators, LearnChamp actively
participates in the development of this new tool:

20. …which uses the new standard:
HTML5
This new markup language is
still in progress, but offers the
opportunity to create
eLearning content that works
on all devices.

21. Consistent user
experience for
one solution

22. What are the new
options?
Different devices and internet
connections make tracking of
learning progress difficult.

23. Nobody wants to experience this:

24. TinCan API
can help!

26. Factors of success for a positive user experience
Lower the entry threshold as much as possible!
• Simple subscription processes
• Short sequences of mouseclicks within the LMS
• Consideration of the learner‘s temporal expectations
The mobile version‘s performance seems critical?
• Do not provide the desktop version for mobile use…
• … but acknowledge each device‘s requirements.
• Use the „mobile first“ approach.
Consistent design and user guidance
