…which outperforms face to face

To grow use of blends: 80%
Classroom + e-learning = standard “blend”
Sophistication growing, including use of mobile
Affects design approach – shorter, bitesize content
However - not all learning activities suit mobile consumption.

Mobile devices natural part of daily life – personal and professional
Mobile distracts learning
through:
Encouraging multitasking
(reduces learning transfer)
Completing tasks not designed
for the surrounding environment
e.g. travelling on trains/cars
unreliable connectivity
constrained interaction
Design of learning is crucial to
encouraging desired behaviour

Mobile supports learning
through:
Access to information / guidance
at the point of need
Reinforcement of newly acquired
knowledge
Prompts to practice newly
acquired skills
Situates learning close to active
environment (less abstract)
Analytics can reveal ways to
improve the learning experience

Key points
Mobile changes learning design
More effective blended learning includes appropriate
activities that can be completed anywhere on any
device.
Harness context and personalisation
Use your learning platform to target learning
activities that suit each individual learner.
Bring learning into the workflow
The mobile device is there already – so learning
opportunities can be less abstract and oriented
around deliberate practice.
Technologies that integrate physical and virtual
space will further shorten time to competence.
