01 post-PC era

…How many of you are using iPads for work?

Particularly compelling is that companies can customize tablets by developing function-specific apps to meet workers needs.

Apple, for example, announced in October 11 that 93 % of Fortune 500 companies were deploying or testing iPads.

We expect the consumerisation of IT will further accelerate enterprise tablet sales as well.

…What apps are you using?

New L & D Scenario

04 … from Flash to HTML5

HTML5 is the newest and most advanced version of HTML. It is a big deal for different reasons:

1. It is a cross-platform technology and cheaper

2. HTML5 promises to make content and/or the web as rich and

interactive as flash and/or native apps.

To date, most of our eLearning courses are largely developed using Flash …but iPad, iPhone and

Android do not support flash

04 … Responsive Design

Allows designers to build once and deploy across device types

Reduce time to get content to users

Reduce costs associated with developing content

04 … a new concept in content design

Mobile offers users a new way to get content, at point of need

Content no longer needs to be courses with sequential navigation

Resource based mLearning that allows the learner to chose how they consume

the information – plucking!

NEW SCENARIO “UNPLUGGED MOBILE LEARNING”

Frustrated by the restrictions of SCORM? TinCan opens up a world of possibilites when it comes to tracking learning activities within your organisation. Content no longer has to be limited to activities inside the LMS - TinCan allows you to report on any activity, taken online or offline: Mobile learning, simulations, virtual worlds, serious games, real-world activities, experiential learning, social learning, offline learning, and collaborative learning

04 … a new concept in tracking

04 What is TinCan?

Content will no longer just be limited to SCOs, and in this respect content becomes part of a larger superset that we call “activities.” Content creators will be more like “activity providers.” The way that content communicates with LMSs changes, as well. The LMS doesn’t need to know that the content or the learner exist until the learning experience (or other verb) is completed. Ref: http://scorm.com/tincan/

04 Activities vs SCOs

This is a big separation from all traditional e-learning specs. An activitiy (content) lives on its own, outside of the LMS. It is launched outside of the LMS. In fact, an LMS becomes something more like a Learning Record Store (LRS.) LMSs will still play the critical roles that they do today, but content won’t need to be delivered — only the statement. No more back-and-forth from the content to the LMS, just send a statement to the LRS when the activity is completed. Ref: http://scorm.com/tincan/

anyplace – multi-device capabilities • Freedom to access resources even outside of the box (LMS)
