Mobile Learning – LEO

Mobile learning solutions from LEO, UK

While many companies create online learning solutions that are ‘mobile-friendly’ in that they are usable on phones and tablets, LEO have a great deal of expertise when it comes to developing ‘mobile-first’ e-learning.

A true mobile learning solution is much more than respnsive design for multiple devices – it’s about understanding the different situation and mindset of a learner that must acquire knowledge and skills while on the go.

Often, this involves ‘Just In Time Learning’ to help deal with unexpected situations and bitesize learning that can be acquired at speed remotely – often with limited Internet access.

While learning at the speed of need is often the requirement of mobile learning, it can also be about adding an extra layer of immersion to an existing experience through the use of a smartphone.

For example, LEO used Augmented Reality (AR) to help Honda to layer additional information on top of real objects and environments using mobile devices. Such technology can be valuable beyond staff training and enhance sales and customer service through Customer Education.

Open Source / Moodle Solutions – Titus Learning

Moodle services from Titus Learning

Many organisations choose open source technology as a future proof solution. It allows them develop a system in-house and later engage an external expert or vice versa. Crucially, open source technology frees you from ‘vendor lock-in’ because it separates the product from the provider.

So, if you go with an open source e-learning solution like Moodle, you could in theory switch provider without the headache and potential expense of also then needing to switch to a new LMS as well.

Moodle is the world’s most popular LMS with millions of learners and tens of thousands of installations in virtually every country across the globe. While its background is in education, it has become the corporate LMS of choice for the likes of Microsoft, the Open University, Shell and many more leading brands.

Titus Learning is one of the world’s leading Moodle Partners – the select group of Moodle developers endorsed by Moodle HQ as offering expertise and value for money for clients, demonstrated by years of successful projects.

To make Moodle even more powerful for the specific needs of corporate e-learning, they recently announced the launch of Moodle Workplace. Titus Learning are well-placed to also be a leading Moodle Workplace provider to business users anywhere in the world.
