With an increasing scope of on-demand training, the deployment of mobile Learning Management Systems is also increasing. The ability to access training courses across personalized mobile devices enable the new-age workforce to get information on their fingertips. Majority of organizations want to train their employees in the least possible time while driving optimal engagement and knowledge retention. So, they utilize custom mobile learning apps to provide information- anytime and anywhere. Custom training content is delivered as smaller chunks, in the form of videos, infographics, podcasts, quizzes, and more to boost overall learner engagement and knowledge retention. Organizations can easily record information on a mobile device, upload it to the LMS and then align training as per the bespoke needs of learners.
An efficient mobile LMS is a boon for the organizations that prefer learning on-the-go, providing learners saving a lot of time and effort by delivering learning anytime and anywhere. The entire framework of mobile LMS comprises modules: Learning, Content, and Evaluation. Let us discuss them in detail:
Learning module
There can be two types of learning- behaviorism and constructivism. Behaviorism shows the change in behavior which can be assessed, and constructivism is a method in which learners construct innovative ideas based on their knowledge and experience. In this module, trainers can conduct online tests, quizzes, and assessments for diverse audiences. Learners access the training curriculum, tests, and schedules on their personalized smartphones or tablets, even on the go. So, this results in customized training delivery, thereby boosting overall learner engagement and knowledge retention. Through this module, the mobile LMS can increase employee performance, efficiency, and knowledge-sharing to learners.
Content module
The content module uses five types of tools for development, management, distribution, collaboration and, delivery. The development tool helps to create content using text, audios and, animations. Management tool helps to effectively store, retrieve and access information which can be imported or exported. The distribution tool is used to disseminate content through web servers and database servers. Using database servers, learners can access their training schedule, personal details and more. While the web servers help learners download e-courses and assignments. The content stored in the database is shared with others using a collaboration tool. Lastly, the delivery tool helps to impart training via mobile devices such as tablets, PDAs, smartphones, and more.
Evaluation module
In performance-based support systems, e-learning solutions are delivered through mobile devices to aid learners to perform specific tasks at their convenience. Using a wireless network via a mobile device, learners can easily access online courses anytime and anywhere. Trainers evaluate learners’ knowledge level to analyze their workplace performance and skills. This module helps the learners get instant feedback, which allows them to self-evaluate their performance, work on their weak areas, and improve their overall performance.
In a nutshell, all the three modules of a mobile LMS highlight the significance of content creation, information distribution, and collaboration during a learning process. The digital workforce prefers accessing updated information in the form of short videos and infographics through multiple devices- laptops, tablets, and smartphones. A robust mobile learning platform helps the corporate workforce to interact via online as well as offline communications. So, when it is about gaining in-depth knowledge, accelerating workplace performance, and enhancing overall knowledge retention, mobile learning is here to stay.
