Mobile Learning Technology and Its Advantages

October 7, 2019

Learning new skills and “upskilling” has almost become the norm in the modern corporate scenario. Professionals are expected to keep developing and honing new skills to stay relevant. And, organisations are expected to invest in enhancing the abilities of their employees. Thankfully, deploying training is now easier than ever with mobile learning technology.

Learning delivered through mobile devices is cheaper than other learning alternatives. It is also ridiculously user-friendly as it enables learners to consume course (or learning) content anywhere, anytime.

However, the advantages of mobile learning is not limited to being a pocket friendly and flexible learning solution.

Advantages of Mobile Learning Technology

These advantages of mobile learning technology will convince you to try it today:

Millennial Workforce Friendly

The millennial generation is extremely efficient with their mobile devices. Since a major percentage of the modern workforce comprises of individuals that belong to the mobile-friendly generation, it makes sense to deliver their learning material on a device they are almost constantly connected to.

Modern (millennial) employees will be more receptive to training delivered through mobile devices. The ease-of-use will motivate more people to engage with the training being offered.

The best part is, a positive beginning to a training will give way to a number of positive results down the line.

Improved Completion Rate

With a higher chance of your workforce engaging in mobile based learning courses, comes a higher completion rate.

In fact, learners using mobile learning technology were found to complete their courses 45% faster than their peers using desktop devices.

The reduced time taken to complete the course by the employees also translates into more hours spent doing their actual job.

Micro-learning Friendly

Micro-learning is the practice of delivering learning modules in the form of bite-sized lessons instead of cramming huge chunks of learning content all at once. While micro-learning is a proven and effective way to deliver training, it is more optimally consumed on mobile devices.

In fact, thanks to mobile learning technology, the shift to “bite-sized learning” has been accelerated. Another special advantage of delivering micro-learning through mobile devices is that the micro-learning modules can be easily accessed by learners engaged in on-the-job training. This way, they have reference learning material readily available to them whenever they find themselves stuck.

Multimedia Friendly

The modern learner doesn’t just want to learn on the go, they want lessons to be delivered in the form of their favorite media such as videos, podcasts, and audio-books.

A mobile device is the perfect medium to deliver learning in these formats. The best part is, developing such learning content is not an expensive task anymore. Top mobile eLearning authoring tools make it easy to develop multimedia based course content and seamlessly deliver it across devices.

Easy To Personalise

The latest mobile-based learning technology enables organisations and instructors to track how learners are interacting with course materials. This further enables them to personalize the learning experience for each learner to drive better results.

When learners choose their own learning path and pace, they are better motivated to complete courses. They also enjoy higher levels of content retention, making the whole learning process more effective.

Conclusion

Mobile learning technology is expected to make approximately $70 billion by next year. The affordability and flexibility offered by the technology has made mobile learning the fastest-evolving learning technology in the global tech industry, and for good reason.

With the variety of benefits it brings to learners and organisations offering learning and development opportunities, mobile learning is the new, cost-effective way people are learning.
