Demands on Mobile Learning


1. Presents a greater challenge in mLearning

2. Used to augment learning on mobile devices

3. Engaging way to present, interact and assess

4. Ability to track progress

Examples:

Interactive exercises Games

Simulations Videos

Interactivity in mLearning


Ideal characteristics: (Interactive of course!) Modular Non-linear Selectively render content SWF or HTML5! SCORM trackable Balance of text & media Easily optimized for mobile rendering Secure

Characteristics of mLearning Interactions


• Devices• Screen sizes• Operating Systems• Browsers• Security• Media formats supported• Connectivity/Connection speed/

Bandwidth• Technology Challenges• Native vs. Web apps• Flash vs. HTML5

Challenges facing mobile interaction development

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

Best in Class for security with options galore. BES controls network, content apps & all configurations. MTN, ESN & PIN supported on newer.

SSL support is native for IE browsers. MTN is supported. Improvements in Windows 7 Phone Edition are now here.

Full SSL support as well as HTML5 spec support. On device encryption is 128-bit and works well. ESN supported.

Poor out-of-box experience lacking SSL & encryption; no server-based remote wipe.

Restrictions come with greatly increased support & IT challenges.

Available encryption methods in .NET compact are so poor it is unusable. ESN not supported in WinMo.

Consumer focus (non-enterprise) delayed need for better security until new iOS 4.0. MTN not supported.

All Mobile Devices Handle Security Differently


• Do you want cross platform delivery?• Do you need to create once, deploy anywhere?• Will you know the mobile devices your learners

carry?• Is Bandwidth/connectivity predictable?• Is there lot of media to be delivered?• Will it be resource intensive?• Do you need sophisticated visual effects?• Is it important to create content without relying

on proprietary software or native apps?

Native vs. Web App Comparison


What technologies has your organization implemented (or is exploring) for mLearning development?

• Native apps for various devices• Web Apps – using HTML or HTML5• Web Apps – using Flash• Web Apps – Other

Poll #3


HOT TOPIC: Flash vs. HTML5


HTML5 or Flash


iPads/iPhones of course!

• Fairly easy – just an extension of HTML & JS• No special software or plug-ins needed• Better interactivity and layout control• Could give Flash the run for the money• Adobe is investing in HTML5!

Why the Hype?


More than just a hype

Technology Matrix


• Keep them short - Edumercials• Separate Content from Presentation• Videos & Animation are effective interactions• Use caching and local storage for SCORM• Use rapid development tools like Raptivity

for quick turnaround• Use tools like PhoneGap to convert to app• Test…Test…Test!!!

Few Tips for creating mLearning interactions


• Through Engaging Content• Use of rich media, interactivity

• New approaches & tools appropriate for mobile devices

• Using Innovative Tools• Appeal across design spectrum from “rapid-to-

radical”

• Ability to turn SMEs into quasi-professional IDs

• Solutions that appeal to every skill level & budget

• Leverage Compelling Delivery Methods• Content should be interesting/engaging

• Delivery/presentation can also be engaging (e.g., custom interfaces, gamification)


Myriad of Ways to make mLearning Fun


• Custom content example• Video example• Raptivity examples• OnPoint examples (interactive

content playing on the CellCast platform)
