Mobile learning (m-learning) offers possibilities for delivering information that guides, supports, and coaches employees from a smartphone, iPad, or other mobile device throughout the course of their work day. Does this mean that you should rush to implement your next training or education program as m-learning? Maybe, but it depends on the project. Before investing heavily in a mobile learning platform, it’s important to have a thorough understanding of your business needs, and how appropriately they align with the benefits, constraints, and requirements of a mobile strategy. Remember that m-learning is a delivery mechanism for information. It’s not a learning solution in and of itself. A careful review of the goals, characteristics, and context of your learning need will help you make a wise decision.
