Today, Mobile Learning, also called”M Learning” is on the rise, he is taking advantage of the generalization of smartphones (as a reminder, there are more mobile subscriptions than humans on Earth today) and knows a massive adoption movement in businesses.
The Mobile learning That's all First a story of support : training platforms specially designed for smartphones and tablets. It therefore has the advantage of taking advantage ofa fast, daily channel that is close to the employee, but also to be able to fully use all the functionalities of the smartphone to increase training : geolocation, NFC chip, Bluetooth, AR will thus be able to trigger training elements in a situation, directly in the field.
But the idea goes beyond simple technological support. To really succeed in transmitting knowledge on a mobile, it is imperative that ergonomics specially designed to learn with the tip of your thumb on a small screen. The user experience must be such that it allows the learner to use their application in a thwarted environment (the subway, the queue, the elevator and why not even while walking on the street) where they may often be interrupted.
A special pedagogical approach is therefore also essential. That's why the microlearning format is particularly popular for this training mode since it goes without saying that a 45-minute e-learning course built as a succession of slides will not be adapted at all and will quickly cause the new learner to flee.

Once deployed, this learning method is very useful in many situations: Onboarding, sales force training, Change Management, the use cases of Mobile Learning are numerous! It can thus be used alone or in addition to an existing training system such as face-to-face training: we will then speak of Blended Learning. Finally, during your next Mobile Learning project, make sure that these new generation technologies can be integrated with the tools already existing in your company (LMS, HRIS, Authentication System, etc.) to build a true seamless learning journey.
In the end, it is the whole way of learning within the company that evolves with Mobile Learning: we leave the training rooms and we leave the traditional platforms to learn everywhere, all the time and on any medium (Hence the famous leitmotif of Mobile Learning: Anytime, Anywhere, Any Device, Any Content). The times are shorter, often 3 to 5 minutes per session, but also much more frequent during the week, perfectly adapted both to the busy daily life of the manager and to the need to quickly capture the attention of the new generation of employees.
