handheld and mobile technologies. It is learning that is both formal
and informal, context aware, and authentic for the learner. Mobile
learning generally referred as m-learning - The new age learning.
Smartphone's and internet connectivity are the key drivers today for
mobile learning. Rapidly moving and evolving solution today.
M-learning helps knowledge and to impart performance support and
refresher learning.
M-learning technologies include handheld computers, notebooks,
mobile phones and tablets.
M-learning focuses on the mobility of the learner, interacting with
portable technologies. Using mobile tools for creating learning aids
and materials becomes an important part of informal learning.

Choosing right technology
Choosing Right Technology
How to choose?
In all these available options, it is vital to choose which
technology suits your needs best. This decision is
primarily based on the devices your targeted audience
uses.
Some questions to ask before choosing a technology –
• Which devices will my target audience be using or
should use?
• Will the courses run through a LMS?
• How interactive do I want my courses to be?
• Will my courses be textually informative or
should they be graphically appealing?
• How much effort am I willing to invest in the course?
• And some others...
The most important factors among these are the
targeted devices to be supported and the
Effort/Cost involved.
Based on these factors, we shall distinguish solutions as
per their targeted devices and which technology should
be chosen for the same in the next section.

Courses for Desktops/Tablets
When you include tablets among your
list of targeted devices alongside
desktops, you can be sure to eliminate
Flash as an available technology as one of
the most common of tablets, i.e. iPad,
doesn’t support it. The choice then falls
into choosing between HTML5 and Rapid
Development Tools (RDT).

Courses for Smartphones
If we are looking to target a wider audience and also want to include
Smartphones to your list of devices, then HTML5 and RDT are your
two options as above for tablets. Another option is creating
applications which are installed and run on the device.
When it comes to m-learning, the development involved is different
from that of desktops and tablets. There are a number of limitations
and issues regarding mobile devices to be taken under consideration.
Limited storage and small screen size are 2 of the most prominent of
them. Another issue is the OS version. For example, every version of
Android provides some changes compared to its predecessor making
it vital to decide beforehand which versions are to be targeted. There
are a few tools available which create responsive courses which run
on all types of devices including Smartphones by making them
responsive. However, these have very limited functionality and
support very limited types of content.

Generally, new courses are created for running on mobile devices
with
limited functionality as compared to their desktop/tablet versions.
These make sure that all the important
content is made available in as little space and word count as
possible. Also, animations and heavy graphics are used less or even
completely avoided to prevent storage and
bandwidth issues.
m-Learning courses are of two types:
– Application based
– Browser based
Applications are usually hybrid to reduce development costs while
browser based courses have the same basic fundamentals as
desktop/tablet courses.
There are RDTs such as Captivate which enable easy publishing of
courses for mobile devices.

Courses with Videos
Courses with
Videos
Some prefer the use of only videos
for their targeted audiences. Such
video courses basically consist of a
video player which runs videos
explaining the concepts involved.
This video player can be
developed using Flash, we can use
the HTML5 <video> element, or even
have add videos inside RDTs.

Another option is to use a Javascript-
based video library such as VideoJS.
VideoJS uses the HTML5 <video>
element so that it runs on maximum
number of devices. Even
for older browsers, it provides a
fallback option which plays the same
MP4 videos with a similar looking
Flash player.

Courses with SVG
Artwork and Illustrations including logos used in books and websites get
jagged when resized. Resizing becomes essential when using them on
mobile devices including Pads and Phones. To ensure that the original
quality is retained during this
conversion, it is important to have them created in a vector art format like
SVG. SVG is a format that is rendered by most popular browsers today.
Designers can also redraw these pictures and convert them into vector art
and SVG.
