Docebo launches an open source mobile-learning app
Naples, Italy, November 12, 2014, Docebo, the Cloud-based,
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), e-learning solutions provider, has
published Docebo Mobile - a mobile app which enables its users to
learn anywhere, anytime, on-demand.
Claudio Erba, Docebo's CEO, explained: 'This app allows a client's
workforce to access learning materials on a just-in-time time basis
via their mobile devices. The Docebo
Mobile app allows you to attend your Docebo-based e-learning
courses via a Smartphone and, ultimately, via any mobile device.'
In addition to allowing Docebo Mobile users to access - on the go -
courses optimised for Smartphone delivery, the app also enables
administrators to view learners' progress and management reports.
Docebo Mobile benefits learning materials developers by enabling
them to create their own mobile learning apps on top of it.
They can do this because of open (or
public) APIs.
'Mobile app developers can try out the Docebo platform, the
Docebo software development kit (SDK)
and the mobile app at no cost,' said Fabio Pirovano, Docebo's Chief
Technical Officer. 'They can create their own app using our SDK or
they can integrate their own training materials with the app and
'white label' it.
'The Docebo Mobile App is open source - having been built using our
public API with tools, such as Apache Cordova, via a technology
which is available to all our clients, and released under the Open
Source BSD license,' he explained. 'At Docebo, we believe that
integrating the client's learning management system (LMS) with other
third party systems is key - so we offer an API system for customers
to leverage in order to perform these integrations.
'A powerful LMS is one that's able to integrate with other
enterprise applications, such as ERPs, HR software, reporting tools
and so on. Interconnection between such systems is key to
streamlining organisational processes and improving business
performance.
'You can now create your own mobile app using Docebo's API and
Mobile SDK. You can allow Docebo to take care of resource storage
and tracking, while you focus your attention on the Mobile
experience you want to give to your users.'
Claudio Erba said: 'The mobile app allows the integration of mobile
learning - which is important to any learning strategy.
'Mobile devices are proliferating around the world - with the
worldwide market for mobile learning products and services reaching
$5.3bn in 2012 and being set to reach $12.2bn by 2017,' he added.
'The advent of this mobile phenomenon is changing enterprises
worldwide, encompassing all sizes of businesses, industries and all
sectors of the economy.'
This is one of the key conclusions of Docebo's research - recently
published in a report called 'Learning on the Go - tips and trends
in m-learning'. The report, which is freely available from
http://bit.ly/10isLvV, outlines ways
to create a blended learning strategy that encompasses a variety of
delivery methodologies - including mobile learning (m-learning).
