At Media Box Studios, we never stop pushing technology "outside of the box." With the growing demand for mobile devices and the reinvention of the tablet, Media Box started exploring ways we could give our government clients a way to access reference manuals and learn.
We created a mobile version of one of our eLearning courses - complete with interactive comprehension checks, as well as an easy-to-use digital ITEM that allows you to search for items, zoom into images and check off a list of procedures on both the iPad and the GalaxyTAB.
There are so many possibilities with mLearning (mobile eLearning). We have entertained the idea of integrating courseware into an IETM - imagine reading a technical manual a being able to link directly to the robust, interactive lesson right there, on the fly, for a refresher.
But mLearning can also go beyond government and military applications. Are you a plumber, electrician or even a television technician? What if you could open up an app dedicated for your specific maintenance task and be able to read through directions with descriptive animations and check steps off as you go?
It sounds cool, but what are the other reasons for taking advantage of tablet technology? Commercial tablets are cost effective. They provide low cost solutions that will keep your employees happy and reduce the amount of time you need to spend on device training.
