Mlearning is the way to access educational content through mobile devices.
Mobile learning has no time or place limits. Its strategy is about flexibility and adaptability to the pace of learners' lives.
People use their mobile phones for multiple purposes, and their screen time increases immensely. Entertainment, work, and learning come at the top of the pile.
The goal of mobile learning solutions is not to become a pile of unread books and cumbersome uncompleted courses.
Its feature is carefully structured information based on the principles of microlearning, which is smoothly digestible and doesn't cause cognitive overload.
Mobile elearning is often characterized as learning on the go, but this is not its most prominent benefit.
At Technomatix, we have vast knowledge and proficiency in delivering exceptional mobile learning solutions. Some notable examples include Metinvest, a prominent international steel and mining group with operations in Europe and North America; Teva Pharmaceutical, the largest international pharmaceutical company in Ukraine; and Ferrexpo, a Swiss-based commodity trading and mining company. Additionally, we have collaborated with esteemed non-profit organizations such as the United Nations, UNICEF, SURGe, and ILO, creating engaging responsive courses and video training.
The first and most comprehensive type of mobile learning is interactive online courses.
Due to their coherent structure and harmonious combination of visual and textual information, responsive mobile courses effectively convey the key meanings of educational topics with exceptional quality. Mobile learning experience can be compared to scrolling through daily news: stress-free, at the learner's own pace, and anywhere, anytime.
When placed on the mobile learning platforms, these courses allow the training manager or head of the department to monitor the performance on employee training. For learners, the mobile organization of the learning program provides higher motivation, and they can interact with the content and absorb new perfectly.
Short explainer videos shot on camera or created with animation can perfectly replace some text blocks or serve as independent micro-modules in elearning courses.
Watching a video allows for the use of multiple channels of perception simultaneously: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Given that the target audiences are often employees with tight schedules or students with a pile of homework, the mobile video format can dilute textual and graphic content and increase brain activity. You can learn more about videos and animated videos on other service pages. It's really interesting there, let's go!
Podcasts are a modern and innovative solution for teaching adults. Mobile should be available in all circumstances.
Imagine: students, headphones, and not music but a short podcast on a micro-topic. A text composed by a subject matter expert, then adopted by an instructional designer and voiced by a professional narrator is the newest approach to learning. A learner can literally listen on the go, combining mental activity with physical activity. This provides double stimulation of the brain, making learning with the help of a podcast quite effective.

Flexible, since it’s mobile-first learning, which perfectly works as a multi-device solution.
Serve content in a concise, but meaningful manner.
Microlearning engages and ensures enhanced content memorization if integrating mobile learning.
Microlearning is still a trend, but it's probably better to call it an integral part of building any learning program, especially for a mobile learning platform.
The effectiveness of the microlearning approach lies in fragmenting a large amount of material and presenting it in easy-to-understand blocks. Thus, the students' attention is not scattered, but focused pointwise on the placed accents. What best practices can we recommend?
Before breaking down the training material into smaller chunks, it is necessary to analyze the educational tasks for each topic and unique content blocks, and break them down accordingly.
The tasks should be achievable for students in a short period of time and formulated as accurately as possible in the context of m-learning. Then the educational material can be adjusted according to the tasks, taking into account the current needs of the students.
The relevance of the educational content to real-life situations will have the best possible effect on the assimilation and further application of the mobile learning content.
It is obligatory to use the company's own tone of voice when composing or proofreading e-content. Whatever the subject matter, user-friendly principles should be applied when editing expert content.
Unknown or difficult-to-understand concepts should be presented in a separate block for preliminary reading. This way, the student does not waste time searching for unfamiliar terms but has everything they need at hand. A glossary can be provided as a separate button or in a PDF file or other document format.
The main content should be structured and logically completed in each semantic block. Employ bulleted lists and divide the text into paragraphs with subheadings to increase understanding of the learning material. Use correct punctuation and set aside time for proofreading. At Technomatix, we always devote a significant amount of work to fulfilling the described requirements.
To engage students with the mobile learning, the use of multimedia materials or interactive elements can be helpful. Since the information presented should be concise and contain only the necessary facts, students may become cognitively fatigued from online training.
Interactive elements like buttons, dialogs, and slideshows can help the participant break the monotony and interact with the mobile e learning materials. Moreover, adding audio or video material can effectively present complex topics in a structured and consistent way.
When designing a mobile training course, it is important to remember that mobile learning experience is not just about taking a course on a mobile phone. Take into account another mobile device - a tablet, and screens of various sizes, they should display every component of educational content in a high-quality manner.
It is essential to test whether interactive elements, like buttons, are conveniently placed, and whether students feel comfortable interacting with them. Check whether the image quality remains consistent and proportional, and that it does not extend beyond the edges of the device from which the training takes place.
Microlearning should not be synonymous with microelements on the screen. Text and interactions should be large enough to avoid eye strain and to ensure that students can easily absorb the knowledge presented in mobile learning.

Soft Skills Mobile Learning Solutions
Educational material on the development of soft skills for employees covers topics related to personal qualities, such as effective communication within the team or external communication with customers, engagement and motivation at work, and the ability to solve conflicts or problems.
Since soft skills and their use are deeply rooted in the everyday lives of employees, m-learning formats such as dialogues in elearning courses, scenarios with solutions to work situations, educational videos, or explanatory podcasts will best convey the e learning content to the student.
Cybersecurity Mobile-based Trainings
Cybersecurity corporate education has become increasingly important due to the rising number of threats in cyberspace, especially on the Internet and when using mobile devices.
M learning is an excellent way to remind learners of these dangers in an organic way. Visual simulations, concise text images of threats, and demonstrations of protecting sensitive data or the dangers of phishing and other cyber attacks are made available through mobile learning. The student only needs to focus for a short period of time.
No, mobile learning is considered a category within elearning. Elearning is designed to be used by students on any device, while e learning mobile solutions specifically focused on learning programs on a phone or a tablet.
Learning m program is always based on the principles of microlearning and gradual delivery of learning information. Electronic learning also incorporates the trend of presenting educational content in smaller, more manageable pieces, but sometimes the concept of the educational subject requires a longread format and a deeper immersion in the educational world. Therefore, mobile learning is not equal to e-learning but is rather a subcategory of it.
Scenario-based learning is a reliable bridge that connects theoretical foundations with practical application, empowering learners to enter a realm of immersive and experiential learning. With our company, you will undoubtedly achieve outstanding results in real life for your learners and enhance your business performance.
