Docebo publishes a report outlining trends and tips in mobile
learning
Naples, Italy, November 4, 2014, Docebo, maker of the
Cloud-based, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), e-learning platform, has
published a free report on the current market - and market trends -
in mobile learning (m-learning).
Called 'Learning on the Go - tips and trends in m-learning', the
report contains contributions from specialist instructional
designer, Valentina Piccioli; Francesco Minichini, of Cezanne on
Demand, who has ten years of experience in international IT
projects, management and human resources; Amol Shindle, an
India-based e-learning professional; Cindy Pascale Vado, the CEO of
the US-based e-learning courseware provider, Vado, and Josh Squires,
the Chief Operating Officer of Docebo EMEA.
The report reveals research showing that mobile devices are
proliferating around the world: more people are using mobile devices
for more things - and there seems to be no end in sight to this
trend. The advent of this mobile phenomenon is changing enterprises
worldwide, encompassing all sizes of businesses, industries and all
sectors of the economy.
While not all enterprises are taking advantage of mobile
technologies to the same degree, one of the current key uses for
mobile devices is for learning, especially job-related learning.
According to the Docebo report, the worldwide market for mobile
learning products and services reached $5.3bn in 2012. The five-year
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is 18.2% and revenues are set to
more than double to $12.2bn by 2017.
Stressing that it's vital to remember that m-learning isn't
synonymous with e-learning, the report advocates understanding the
end user in order to build a successful learning strategy. Learning
developers need to take both 'tech-savvy' and 'less-tech-savvy'
potential audiences into account when developing m-learning
materials.
The report outlines some of the ways to create a blended learning
strategy that encompasses a wide variety of delivery methodologies -
including m-learning. In doing so, it argues that developers should
be keenly aware of their audience and should design learning
materials for specific media and to meet organizational
competencies.
'The bottom line is that building m-learning programs is all about
better enabling learning,' said Docebo's Josh Squires. 'Think it
through. Then get creative - and know your audience.'
