Part 1:  Incorporating Mobile Technology into mLearning Design and Development
Speaker: James Kingsley, Senior Technology Architect, eLearning Brothers 
Preview Description:  
Are you really taking advantage of what a mobile experience can offer? Learn how mobile hardware like a microphone, camera, GPS, gyroscope or multi-touch screen can elevate the eLearning experience through new user interfaces and interaction types—far beyond what most mobile courseware does today. Picture your learner listening to a recording of a customer pleading their case. They're invited to audibly respond using their microphone and their response is sent to cloud servers where it is analyzed for sentiment and keywords, and then the cloud delivers a dynamic customer response back to the learner.  Or, picture your learner being presented with a series of objects and having only 30 seconds to decide which are safe, then giving their phone a shake and having the dangerous items disappear. 


Part 2:  Story Sync for mLearning 
Speaker: Matt Estes, Director of Instructional Design, Evolent Health
Preview Description:
The Walking Dead and Better Call Saul are AMC shows that both started off the same way—by telling viewers to login via their mobile devices to Story Sync. Story Sync is an interactive experience that allows the viewer to engage with content from the show. What does Story Sync have to do with mobile learning? Imagine, if you will, Story Sync for the classroom! Matt will share how he used Captivate 9 with responsive design, PhoneGap, and Kindle Fires to develop Evolent Health’s Story Sync content to produce an engaging, interactive, and cutting-edge classroom experience.
