Professional Education

Are you exploring mobile learning for your business?  You’re not alone.  With most Americans having a mobile device within arm’s reach, it’s not surprising that businesses are examining how to use apps, email, voicemail, text, the mobile web, and more for professional learning and training. Recently, the Technology Evaluation Center shared an important document for businesses that are deciding whether they should incorporate mobile into their learning tools.  And when TEC speaks, hundreds of businesses listen, as they are an impartial resource for companies that are evaluating the best enterprise software solutions.  After exploring the effectiveness, benefits, and technology, TEC offered not only a vendor recommendation for Blackboard, but the following endorsement for mobile learning overall -

“The popularity of mobile technology makes this an option worth exploring in a company’s training strategy. Today’s organizations should feel confident in developing and deploying mobile learning programs that support their key corporate initiatives. Remember, however, that mobile learning should not be a replacement for other modes of learning, but simply an extension.”
