******CEU Question: This includes all types of content. Job Aids, E-Books, and Courses are just a few of the examples.
The real opportunity for mobile learning is in performance support, job aids, E-Books, etc. but we conducted this study to see how well courses would be received on mobile devices.
The results of this particular case study conducted by Merrill Lynch led us to our investigation and ultimate goal of determining whether this same type of use case has equal applicability in a military setting. DoD active duty, civilians, and contractors are currently required to complete several mandatory eLearning compliance courses using a desktop or laptop computer on an annual basis. Much like the employees at Merill Lynch, the users of various Department of Defense (DoD) eLearning systems are often faced with the similar challenges of dealing with random distractions while trying to balance mission-critical work responsibilities with mandatory training requirements.
