When it comes to mobile learning myths and misconceptions abound. These myths are holding back widespread adoption of mobile learning in the workplace. Designers must consider the always on nature of phones which help capture the moment of creative learning and other such factors. It’s just learning on the move.

The second idea is less about elearning and more about mobile learning. Following is a quick mockup of an iPad-inspired PowerPoint template.

If a course is relevant to the learner, you’re more apt to tap into their own motivations for learning. If it’s not relevant, it becomes a lot harder to keep their attention and to make the learning stick. So they need a clear understanding of what the course is about, what they’re supposed to learn, and expectations after the course.
