Mobile World Congress

Intuition will be showcasing our award winning mobile learning solution at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona from 16th - 19th February. We will be joining Research in Motion (RIM) as an alliance partner at its stand in Hall 8, stand number 8B91. We have won two major awards for innovation in mobile learning and we are recognised as a market leader.

Visitors to the stand will be able to trial mobile learning by downloading Intuition’s mobile learning application to their BlackBerry Smartphone device.

Our mobile learning solution was developed to extend the reach of learning to the mobile workforce. Content can be downloaded in multiple formats, including eLearning, podcast and video. The solution delivers learning and knowledge to handheld devices and can be used to create and deliver short courses, assessments, surveys and spotlights.

The solution is scalable to tens of thousands of users, with existing client deployments in excess of 25,000 devices. It facilitates learning on the move, such as when travelling on business, even when offline or with low connectivity. Intuition’s technology also records learner progress directly to the organisation’s central learning management system when connectivity is restored.

We hope to see you there!

mLearning

mLearning, or "mobile learning" is distinctive from traditional eLearning in its focus on learning using mobile devices. A definition of mobile learning is: Learning that happens across locations, or that takes advantage of learning opportunities offered by portable technologies. In other words, mobile learning decreases limitation of learning location with the mobility of general portable devices.

The term covers: learning with portable technologies, where the focus is on the technology (which could be in a fixed location, such as a classroom); learning across contexts, where the focus is on the mobility of the learner, interacting with portable or fixed technology; and learning in a mobile society, with a focus on how society and its institutions can accommodate and support the learning of an increasingly mobile population that is not satisfied with existing learning methodologies.

mLearning is convenient as it is accessible virtually from anywhere and provides access to all the different learning materials available. mLearning also brings strong portability by replacing books and notes with small devices that are filled with tailored learning content delivering content when and where the user requires the information.
