New to Mobile Learning Course Development: Getting Started
Now that you've made your case for a mobile learning program, how do you get started? If you want to develop courses for mobile devices, you need to address the following questions:
• How do I develop learning content that works on all of the different devices out there?
• How will learners access the mobile course content? Does the course need to be loaded locally on the device, or is there some easier way?
• How do I track learner results to the Learning Management System (LMS)?
In this 1 hour webinar, Garin will introduce you to the different options available so you can get your mobile learning strategy started right.
Designing mLearning: A Strategic View of the Mobile Learning Movement
Increasingly, we hear about more apps, new smartphones, and mobile everything. Is this a fad, or are we seeing a significant change? As our employees are increasingly mobile and increasingly equipped with mobile technologies, we have a new opportunity to improve organizational performance that is largely untapped, yet promises large returns. How do we take advantage of it?
To truly "get" mobile, we need to shift our thinking. Join Clark Quinn in this 1 hour webinar and explore the new technologies that underpin the excitement, cover the opportunities on the table, and review a set of useful frameworks to help shift our thinking. Learn about the design process and organizational imperatives that accompany this new opportunity.
Mobile Learning & Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality can take any situation, location, environment, and experience to a new level of edutainment. In this day and age, people want to be informed, engaged, and entertained in an immediate, pro-active and social way. If you doubt that premise, look at the big players in the industry:
• Tablets - iPad - whose real power is multimedia and HTML5; other tablets follow the multimedia pattern
• e-Readers - information, immediate, enlightenment; some e-readers have Flash capabilities, as well as audio/visual
• X-Box, Playstation 3, Wii - Offer real time communication with players around the world and the ability to work, learn or play in conjunction with someone you've never met.
But how does that translate into mobile learning?
With mobile learning apps:
• Learners are walking around your locations and communicating with other learners, at your various business units around the world (possible down the road)
• 3D learning environments tied to specific goals/objectives with the learners as real life avatars seeing the world in their POV (point of view)
• Educational games where your end users are actually part of the game; animation and audio is in play
AR changes mobile learning for the better. It will save companies and educational institutions money. It will engage learners in such a way that a web-based training course, even one that is a sim, could never replicate.
In this webinar, you will learn how this emerging technology is changing the way people engage and learn. It will present you with possibilities and mobile devices best suited for this new technology.

Avoiding PowerPoint Poison- Instructionally Effective Use of PowerPoint in eLearning
Throughout the past two decades, millions of learners in instructor-led training courses have been literally put to sleep by overuse of PowerPoint as a medium for training. That's not to say that PowerPoint itself is the culprit. The fault lies in trainers that believe that simply sharing knowledge is training.
One major danger in using converted PowerPoint presentations as the basis for e-learning courses is what may be termed "PowerPoint Poison". When a PowerPoint is converted carte blanche as a presentation, with maybe only a quiz at the end, it not only lacks instructional effectiveness, but it also creates a negative effect.
Yes, simply converting PowerPoint presentations can be harmful to your e-learning initiative's health. In this session you'll learn how you can still use PowerPoint as the basis of your training and create amazingly interactive courses with less effort and time than you might expect.
