Implement a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution to:

• Ensure devices are PIN/password protected

• Remotely wipe lost/stolen devices

• Control custom app distribution

• Ensure devices are up-to-date with latest operating system

Custom App Recommendations

• Be judicious in what sensitive information (if any) is stored

on the local device, as opposed to only accessible while

online.

• Encrypt local content using AES-128 or better (per HIPAA

guidelines)

LMS should:

• Provide a responsive and

skinnable UI for mobile devices

• Support all major course

communication protocols: AICC,

SCORM 1.2/2004, xAPI

• Provide a native mobile

application, supporting all your

target platforms, with offline

capabilities

• Provide SSL Access and

best-in-class, rigorously

penetration-tested security

Features to look for in a

native mobile application:

• Cross Platform Support

• Content Encryption (AES-128+)

• Enterprise Distribution options

via MDM

• Configurability

• Skinning/Branding

• Custom Content

• Offline Features

Content Support

What does Mobile mean to you?

...while the laptop/tablet convergence might

indicate the need to focus design in that

space, true mobility is still predicated on a

mobile device you can drop into your pocket

or bag, and designing for mobile should

start there, not with the tablet.

- David Wentworth “Right-sizing Mobile Learning” 2014

New Content

• New content should be designed to a responsive “mobile first”

approach

• Create short “bite-sized” learning opportunities

• Videos (10 minutes or less)

Existing Content

• Create brief assessments, minimal “off device” work

• Use larger fonts (at least 14 point)

• Make buttons and interactions large

• Limit forms and complex fields or interactions

• Ensure audio is not required to consume content

What will and won't work

on a phone screen?

What works well…

• Text & image-heavy content

• Short, bite-sized learning

modules

• Videos

What might not be appropriate…

• Computer Software Simulation

• Content truly dependent on

highly intricate diagrams or

ancillary learning materials to

effectively convey a learning

objective.
