6 Shared So you know how important self-directed learning is, and you’ve decided to give it a go. You want your employees to evolve, grow and become the best possible additions to your team they can be. You’ve done the research and chosen mobile learning as your instructional vehicle, because you want to take advantage of downtime, maximize employee availability, and give your workers the freedom to learn from work, home, a café, or when they’re on the move.

This makes it crucial that they learn continuously, and e-Learning is a great way to do that. However, e-Learning often means learning in a classroom that you provide, or on machines in your office. While this can be a great way to introduce workers to new concepts, it lacks the flexibility and efficiency of learning from a mobile device.Read more »

18 Shared Quizzes and tests are designed to evaluate students’ progress, but another function of such tools is teaching, not just measurement. Every instructor faces this kind of problem - the necessity to create an individualized system of examination which provides the instructor with verifiable data. Out-of-the-box solutions are not sufficient, as they can’t foresee all the possible nuances of a course.
