Mobile technology training is in a state of rapid evolution. Today, there are over 1.5 billion mobile devices worldwide connecting people to each other as well as a myriad of information sources. As a result, the promise of mobile learning, or m-learning, is finally starting to take root. According to research by the eLearning Guild, over 30% of organizations surveyed currently deliver some amount of learning content through mobile platforms such as iPod, Blackberry, Windows Mobile and other smartphones.

Although mobile learning is growing fast, the space is still in the definition stage. While powerful new devices with increased memory, larger storage capacity and access to higher bandwidth are capable of delivering rich, interactive content, these new devices must coexist with a large installed base of less capable, earlier generation technology that is primarily used for email and basic internet search. As a result, mobile learning solutions must cater to the gamut of capabilities supported by multiple generations of devices.

Xyleme leverages its single source, multi-learning channel publishing platform to deliver training content to today’s most prevalent mobile platforms - without the need for separate authoring or publishing tools.

Performance Support – Learning Anytime, Anywhere

Xyleme’s mobile learning solution provides easy, yet powerful navigation designed specifically for the unique footprint of mobile devices. For effective contextual learning and mobile training, Xyleme provides anytime access through both browse and search functionality that lets learners query content in the context of the task they are performing - directly from their mobile device. Xyleme’s modular approach to content development and storage allows for the search results to consist of only the learning objects (topics, procedures etc.) that meet the search criteria rather than entire documents or courses. Search is lightening fast, relevant and contextual at every possible level.

SCORM Delivery and Tracking

Xyleme’s SCORM 2004 Player is a lightweight, platform-independent application that enables disparate learners to connect to their master LMS and download SCORM-compliant courseware. Courses can be run in a disconnected mode at the convenience of each learner making mobile training effortless. Xyleme tracks training status and collects user data and synchronizes this information with the master LMS when learners are once again online.

Rich Media Delivery

Xyleme’s media object content model supports mobile renditions of rich media. Media objects such as Flash, video, animations etc. can be downloaded to any mobile device supporting these formats. This allows critical interactivity to be included in mobile learning initiatives, drastically increasing the effectiveness of these applications.
