Mobile eLearning

Presenter: Dustin Tauer

Have you been getting requests to provide your users with mobile eLearning?  Do you think providing users eLearning on their mobile devices would lead to a higher completion rate?  

This session will focus on how to create and deliver mobile learning (mLearning) projects for iPhone/iPad/Android devices using Adobe Captivate. As mobile learning continues to grow, it will be important for eLearning developers to know how to create lessons with mobile learners in mind and how to publish these lessons to mobile devices.

In this session, participants will learn how to:

  • Create a basic project in Captivate (simple screen recording and some quizzing)
  • Publish a mobile version to an LMS and access it on an iPad
  • Publish the course as a mobile iPad application and install it on an iPad

Date and Time

February 8th from 5-6:30pm

Register today.
