outcomes can be achieved if learners are provided with optimal
learning content delivery to their mobiles.
● Native apps are the most optimised for learning content
consumption on mobile.
● Native apps deliver almost 7 times higher levels of engagement
than non responsive mobile websites.

21. Mobile Learning Principles
Ease of Use:
● Using the mobile form factor and a native architecture, so that
learning materials can be accessed within 3 to 4 taps and swipes.
● “Appify” the LMS experience with mobile workflows. Less
scrolling, minimal tapping and swiping.
● It should be as easy to use as your other most used apps.
