Authoring Tools – With only a small sample of vendors that are SaaS based, pickings are slim. Best example? Standards are Facebook and Twitter. Sadly though many still are in the dark on true mobile learning – i.e. not accessing their platform via a mobile web browser. Ensemba by Media Defined.

Facilitation now exists between the pieces of software, similar to interaction between a human and a computer (again, in a basic example). Twitter has APIs, so does Facebook, even Linkedin.

Even then, the metrics are essential, because without it, you just have two people experiencing “mentoring” as though they are on What’s App or Facebook Messenger.
