Sealund’s on the Go with Custom mLearning
Our clients‘ employees, like modern learners everywhere, are expressing a preference for learning available at their fingertips wherever they may be, so Sealund’s mTeam is developing custom mLearning applications and introducing mLearning versions of our existing courseware, based on our new mLearning Methodology to ensure learners of the instructional soundness for which Sealund & Associates has earned recognition since introducing our eLearning methodology in 1985.
Our mLearning Methodology supports rapid prototyping for a variety of mobile platforms and the best use of new small-screen formats, new technologies, and learning models adapted to those media.
Our new mLearning apps for your iPhone, Droid and Blackberry include:
- Alaris™ Financial Literacy Curricula’s “Reducing and Eliminating Debt” curriculum that’s so in-demand for its original platform.
- The mLearning version includes rich graphics on every screen as the mentor walks learners through the effective strategies and habits, and another avatar engages learners in a relatable story to practice those habits and strategies. It also provides an interactive calculator for instant and repeated application and reinforcement of new skills.
- The Smart Shopper’s tool that helps you calculate the real cost of big-ticket items by factoring in the interest you’ll pay at the rate and number of months you enter.
We’re Spreading the Word
Our mTeam has learned enough and produced enough high-quality mLearning that we’re taking our “learning to-go” on the road to several conventions. I’ll be presenting our new mLearning Methodology at:
- MLearnCon, the eLearning Guild’s mLearning Conference, in June, in San Diego, where my session title is #608 - “Needs Analysis Equates to Successful Deployment on Smart Phones.” http://www.elearningguild.com/mLearnCon/concurrent-sessions/session-details.cfm?session=2520
- SALT Interactive Technologies in August, in Washington, D.C. (Arlington, VA), where my session title is “Making Learning Games Work for Mobile Learning” http://www.salt.org/dc/washingtonP.asp?pn=sengine&showAbs=Yes&Back=Yes&Abs=99
