Meet the Demand for Mobile Learning

If you’ve read recent e-Learning and training blogs providing 2012 predictions, one up-and-coming trend seems to be present in almost all of them: mobile learning. Thanks to devices such as the iPad, iPhone and various Android tablets, it has become increasingly easy to share and view e-Learning content on-the-go – whether you’re at the office, on the bus or at home.

Although mLearning on tablets has already become quite common, this super-hot trend isn’t going anywhere. The Chief Learning Officer article Tablets as a Social Learning Delivery Tool by Tammara Combs offers these interesting mLearning stats from Future Workplace and the IESE Business School:

By the end of 2011, almost 40 percent of executives plan to utilize media tablets in their learning and development programs.
During the next four years, 37 percent of HR execs say they will utilize mobile devices not only for learning, but also for coaching and mentoring.

In addition, Combs’ article includes a third impressive mLearning prediction from for the next couple of years. The IT company Gartner predicts that “worldwide sales of tablets will increase from 19.5 million units sold in 2010 to an astounding 208 million units in 2014.” That’s a lot of tablets!

So, how does this affect you as an e-Learning developer? You need e-Learning tools that allow learners to conveniently access your content on their iPads and iPhones – no matter where they’re located. Lectora® e-Learning software makes this possible by providing users with the ability to publish courses and training straight to HTML format, allowing users to view content from the Safari web browsing platform on their mobile devices.

Tanya Seidel, VP of Product Management & Training at Trivantis, offers more information about mobile learning with Lectora in the video below:

With this helpful Lectora publishing option, learners with iOS mobile devices will always be able to access your e-Learning courses. Get started creating robust mobile learning courses today with these FREE mobile learning templates.

How to Customize Table of Contents in Lectora eLearning Software

This is a guest blog post from Ayesha Habeeb Omer, Chief Operating Officer at CommLab India. See below for full bio.

Lectora is the most powerful tool in terms of customization, compared to other authoring tools. We can customize almost everything in Lectora according to our needs. In this blog, you will learn how to customize the Table of Contents in a course. The default Table of Contents has a standard look and feel, but if you want, you can customize it to your company design standards without any additional Lectora actions.

Here are the steps to follow to customize your Table of Contents after you publish a course in Lectora.

First, publish the course as usual. In the published files, you will find the Images folder. In it, you will find default icons (.gif format images) of your Table of Contents.

1. ftb.gif

2. ftfn.gif

3. ftln.gif

4. ftmfn.gif

5. ftmln.gif

6. ftmn.gif

7. ftn.gif

8. ftpfn.gif

9. ftpln.gif

10. ftpn.gif

11. ftvl.gi

You can change the symbols and design of your Table of Contents and highlight the color (default grey) per your requirements. Please have a look at the screenshot below for the default Table of Contents which consists of + & - symbols.

Using the Table of Contents Properties dialog box, you can customize the background color and text style. You can also apply your own color to the Table of Contents background using the “Custom” option under the color palette, as shown below.
Here you can see the customized background and font style, using the Properties dialog box available in Lectora
For an advanced level of customization, you need to modify all of the 11 images related to the Table of Contents. We have edited the icons to demonstrate the customization. You can customize it as per your need and design using any Image editing tool. Please download the example images of Table of Contents from the link: http://www.commlabindia.com/_ftp-eimpact/table_of_content_images.zip
To change the default “Rollover” grey color of the Table of Contents to any color, Open “trivantis-toc.js” in any HTML editor and search for function locate Node (tocObj, targHref). In that function you will find the default color code (tocObj.selNode.navObj.style.backgroundColor = '#ece9d8'
You can also remove or change the border size and color of the Table of Contents. Please open “toc52.html” in HTML editor, as mentioned in the below image: border:none;
Here is the screenshot after the customization is done.

NOTE: These simple steps need to be done every time you publish the course. Therefore, it is recommended that this customization is done only after the course development is complete

Deliver Excitement to eLearning Courses with Serious Games

When developing eLearning material, content creators want to offer an overall experience for learners, not just a recitation of information. Interactive features are a major part of this plan, and are easy to implement with the right authoring tool. Quizzes, surveys and animations are all great options, but what about serious games and simulation learning? Many developers are wary of combining gaming and education, but the results of doing so are quite convincing.

“Because games have a stated goal and rules of play to guide players to that goal, well-designed games yield meaningful play, defined as that which ‘occurs when the relationships between actions and outcomes in a game are both discernable and integrated into the larger context of the game,’” according to Anne Derryberry’s Learning Solutions Magazine article. “When game design focuses on learning outcomes, then, while preserving playfulness, serious learning is possible.”

The point of serious gaming is to help the learner stay focused and interested in material that otherwise may have not been understood. Members of the LinkedIn Serious Games Group joined in on Sharon Voigt’s discussion, which asked, “What makes a game an effective learning tool?” and offered their suggestions. A few are highlighted here:

Sharon, Executive Editor, School Specialty, Inc.:

Engages my students and gets them excited about learning
Provides explicit instruction on a specific topic/skill
Adapts to student performance so that the level of difficulty increases as student performance improves
Customizable so I can “assign” students activities that match what I am teaching
Provides instructive feedback when student appears to not understand either a specific skill or feature of the game

“When I combined the responses [in this discussion] with responses from two other game discussion groups, the feature that received the most responses was 'engages students and gets them excited about learning.' This was tied with the game having an explicit goal (win objective) and a clear map for achieving that goal.”

Kristina Cunningham, M.A. student, Serious Game Design:

Good games, and good games for learning, provide the player-learner with an explicit goal (win condition/objective) along with a clear map to how to achieve that goal.

“At heart, most species learn through play. Play is a powerful learning experience hardwired into each of us. Games tap that.”

Mikael Andersson, IT Project Manager:

[All] levels require students to use reasoning skills rather than simply answering factual questions…engagement and stimulation relies on requiring reasoning from the student/player, not just repetition
Some levels require collaboration with other students either online or in person - when this is possible, absolutely. Collaboration and sharing experiences enhances engagement and outcomes in any game or learning activity.
Encourage further exploration and learning on the topic outside of the game environment

James Cowgill, Director of Serious Games at Centerline Digital:

My take on it is to focus less on the “gamey” stuff and start with what learning objectives the students need to take away.

How the game is created and the game’s activity is dependent on the learning goals and objectives, but serious games in general should be considered when developing interactive eLearning courses for the end-user. If you use Lectora eLearning software, you can take advantage of the Flash & Games Library within the program, which lets you choose from a list of customizable flash games and animations such as flash cards, jigsaw puzzles, million dollar question game, hangman, word scramble, tic tac toe and more. There are even several new Flash games that have been added, such as basketball and golf hole in one.

“Deeply immersive learning experiences increase engagement, and results can be determined by learning metrics such as retention and transfer. Next to mentored real performance, serious games are arguably the best way to master a skill,” said Clark Quinn and Lisa Neal in eLearn Magazine. “A serious game will not seem frivolous when done right. Whether you call it immersive learning simulations or serious games, it constitutes deeply contextualized, challenging practice.”

Your learners will be appreciative of the break from standard text-centered courses, and are more likely to retain the information that you’ve provided within the game. Any way to collapse barriers between you and the learner should be welcomed, and serious games are an ideal solution for quality eLearning courses.

Keep Disasters Under Control with Lectora eLearning

It doesn’t hurt to be too safe when you’re guarding your company’s assets. Whether that means your employees, your technologies or your facilities, emergency preparedness plans are crucial to have in place, and many companies are revisiting theirs in time for hurricane season, and other harsh weather. Depending on where your company is located, a variety of disasters can strike at any minute, and employee training on how to deal with it can be accomplished through eLearning practices and the proper tools and resources.

Talent Management Magazine reports that Lockheed Martin, a defense contractor company, has one emergency procedure in place, but practices drills for all different types of scenarios.

“You prepare differently for a situation you know is coming, like a hurricane,” said Warren Wright, senior communications manager at Lockheed Martin. “You obviously take [different] steps in advance of a path of a hurricane than you would in the path of a tornado, for example. Even though we have an overarching preparedness plan, it covers everything.”

In order to implement a solid plan, you must develop a strategy for preventing the possible disaster. All employees should be informed and educated on the escape route, and drills should be enacted to ensure safety. Using Lectora authoring software, you can easily create a course with interactive features, such as audio and video, so employees can get a clear lesson on what is expected and what they can do to help in the event of a disaster.

You can develop and target your course according to the needs of your specific company, environment and employees. You must determine what types of disasters could possibly affect your organization, and focus your course on these factors. For example, if your area is prone to hurricanes, create a course that includes video demos of escape drills and photos of the safest areas or exits. Lectora enables you to add these multimedia features with a few simple clicks, and you can present this course to employees multiple times to ensure that they understand the plan. And, because it’s computer-based training, employees don’t need to physically be in your facility to get the message across.

One of the advantages of utlizing Lectora's online course development capabilities for an emergency precaution course is that you can modify it whenever appropriate. Depending on the success of drills or actual enactment of the plan, you can easily alter the course content so it is as accurate as possible. And, you can easily create multiple courses as needed, so one can be developed as a “preparedness” plan, and one as a “recuperation” or “relief” plan. The most important outcome of having an established plan for before, during and after a disaster is to make sure everything runs smoothly and the company suffers as few losses as possible.

As reported in Chief Learning Officer Magazine, Chris Kilroy, manager of emergency preparedness and security at Baptist Health South Florida, said that their organizational training in the event of a disaster is “really geared to getting back to normal business operations.” We can’t expect the unexpected, but we can be prepared for the worst using eLearning technologies, and get things back in order quickly and efficiently.

Bring mLearning Material to the Next Level

As mobile learning becomes a clear reality for those in the eLearning industry, strategies for getting ahead of the game should be outlined, and tools for implementation should be chosen. You can create advanced and impressive material for mobile learners that goes beyond traditional courses, which is one of many incentives to get involved.

“MLearning makes it possible to think beyond formal instruction…to integrate learning strategy with overall performance and technology strategy, and to complement formal learning with informal learning, social learning, and performance support,” said Bill Brandon in his Learning Solutions Magazine article.

New mobile technologies allow developers to explore different outlets for delivering learning material, like apps and HTML5, which in turn create more benefits for learners, and “new opportunities unique to…mobile platforms,” according to Brandon.

For example, HTML5 has been getting a lot of attention recently because of its benefits to mLearning content creation. You can design, develop and publish advanced courses directly to learners through any mobile device’s browser. And, while content can be viewed in this manner, Internet connection is not a necessity.

“Travelers with no or limited internet connectivity…will be delighted to find out that they can continue interacting with [HTML5] Web applications and documents even when their network connection is unavailable,” said Yael Even-Levy in her Learning Solutions Magazine article.

This is one of the most significant benefits of publishing eLearning material to the HTML5 Internet format, along with its obvious substitution for Adobe’s Flash. Some of the most popular mobile devices, specifically Apple’s iPad, iPhone and iTouch, do not support Flash content, so publishing material to HTML5 is an easy fix for learners with those devices.

Lectora and CourseMill, an authoring solution and LMS respectively, are tools that make creating and publishing content to HTML5 a no-brainer. With the click of a button, you can render text as images for HTML5 and publish to this format. Lectora even features pre-formatted templates for the iPad to help you get started creating material for HTML5. The important thing to remember when designing material is to have the users’ device in mind. So, you must ensure that all of the proportions, graphics and other elements will be viewed as intended on your learners’ various mobile devices.

Another way to view Lectora eLearning content on mobile devices is to create an app.Once a course is created in Lectora and exported to HTML5, it can be run through a free open source mobile framework service, PhoneGap. This program wraps the HTML5 program from Lectora and creates an app, which can be deployed to multiple platforms, including the iPad or iPhone. mLearners are familiar with apps on mobile devices, which makes this an effective way to deliver mLearning material. For a tutorial on using Lectora to create an app, watch Diane Elkins’ quick tip podcast.

“Designing learning solutions for mobile devices regardless of the technology used will require a mLearning strategy that provides a clear direction to follow, points to specific examples that you can demo to your clients, details design specs from font size to graphics, and offers standard templates for you to use to ensure consistency,” said Even-Levy.

If you follow these tips and use these tools and programs, deploying mLearning will have outstanding benefits, and your courses will be a level above those who do not take advantage. You will surely find success using the latest technologies, devices and authoring tools for creating mLearning content, and it’s important to stay ahead of the curve. You can accomplish this by attending The eLearning Guild’s upcoming conference, mLearnCon, June 21-23 in San Jose, California, to learn about all of the latest information, tools and technology for mLearning.

Six Steps to Creating Quality eLearning Content with Lectora

While all eLearning course developers strive to create valuable learning material, there are countless intricacies of design that can be easily forgotten. With Lectora, the process is simplified, and course developers can make quality content without extensive design experience. All you need is an idea and a goal. Following these six easy steps, you can begin your training or education program with a high-quality, professional looking course made with a powerful eLearning tool.

1) Scope the Course Before you begin designing, you must know your objectives and limitations for the task. In support of these objectives, establish a target audience for the material, and define the desired outcomes from these individuals. Also, determine technological needs, as well as a timeframe and budget.

2) Organize Course Content Once you have your goals set, gather all of the information and graphics for the course. Develop a logical order and flow of content to maintain a fluid eLearning environment. Put the material in a storyboard format, showing a detailed view of each page. Desired graphics, interactivity and course functionality should be noted throughout the visual display.

3) Begin Designing the Course Develop the Graphic User Interface (GUI) design for your course based on creative preferences, branding specifications and navigational criteria. Remember your goals and objectives when creating the look and feel of the course. Do you want it to be extremely user friendly? Should it be more intricate for a well-educated audience? Keep your target audience, budget and timeframe in mind.

4) Develop Your Course Assemble content and create the full course using one or more of Trivantis’ Lectora authoring solutions. Lectora Inspire allows you to add impressive multimedia content to your course such as screen recordings, Flash animation, video and audio. Or, Lectora Publisher gives you the ability to build your course without extra design work, using pre-existing Wizards, design themes, templates and other customizable components. Lectora Online holds the same power as Lectora Publisher, but it is combined with the capabilities of the Internet. Lectora Online allows teams of users to effectively collaborate on projects and work together through the Web or an LMS. Lectora Integrator gives you another option if you already have course material created in PowerPoint. You can convert that content into the Lectora environment, giving you opportunities to expand, and use all of the creation tools within the program.

5) Review, Correct and Test Check the full usability and content in your course for errors, malfunctions or technical difficulties. Make sure the information, graphics, layout, functionality, interactivity and multimedia work properly and flawlessly meet your expectations.

6) Publish Your Course Lectora meets industry standards, such as SCORM, AICC and 508 compliance. So, choose from SCORM and AICC compliant Learning Management Systems, HTML, CD or a variety of mobile devices to publish your high quality eLearning course material.

After reading and fulfilling these steps, creating eLearning courses will be an easy task, and using Lectora significantly lessens the intimidation. The Lectora product line offers a helpful variety of creation tools and capabilities so that your courses will not only look great, but your audience will be more receptive to the interactivity and creativity within the design.

Getting Started with Flash Resources in Lectora Inspire

Authoring has come a long way in the last few years. One of the best improvements has been the pre-built Flash components that can be quickly customized and used to create interactive eLearning. I created a three-screen sample to show how you can rapidly create interactive elements from components available in the media library of Lectora Inspire.

Right away, I found I could make my first screen more interesting than just presenting bulleted text on a page. In the media library, I found many animated objects, such as arrow highlighters, different types of animated characters, and animated text. I chose a little guy who blinks and moves his arm to display bullet points.

For the next screen, I added a reveal activity to help reinforce the information in the first screen and create more interaction for the learners. I used the wizard to add the picture to reveal, edited the graphic look of the activity, and added true/false questions.

Finally, I added some final learning fun to my mini course – a bowling game with multiple choice questions. Adding components is very easy—just click on the Media Organizer menu icon, choose the game or component you want, click, and it appears on the screen. A window opens and guides you through set up, and you’re done.

Flash Components Available in the Media Organizer

It’s easy to keep learners engaged by quickly adding interactive Flash animations and games to your courses. Choose from a variety of customizable Flash games and animations such as Flash cards, jigsaw puzzles, million dollar question game, reveal game, hangman, word scramble, tic tac toe, text animations, male and female characters, industry-specific characters, digital and analog clocks, and more. The newest items released with Lectora Inspire X.4 include: Golf Hole in One, Basketball, Soccer Penalty, and Bowling.

Other Powerful Flash Features

In addition to the components in the Media Organizer, Lectora Inspire comes bundled with Flypaper. This powerful software adds even more Flash capabilities for authors who want to add the excitement of Flash without programming. Authors can create custom Flash objects, templates, pages, and courses. Flypaper for Lectora is seamlessly integrated into Lectora Inspire through the launch pad. The newest version of Flypaper in Lectora Inspire X.4 includes the capability to create interactive touch-screen learner experiences with multi-touch support for slide, swipe, pan, zoom and rotate motions.

If you want to try creating Flash components for your eLearning courses, download the 30-day free trial of Lectora Inspire here.
