About this workshop

An increasing number of companies are delivering learning and training via smartphones and mobile devices. Designing learning for a small screen and for a mobile learner is challenging and needs a specific approach and skill set to be effective.

Learning for mobile delivery must be designed differently taking into account screen size, usage time frames, and context.
