16. 04 … from Flash to HTML5
To date, most of our eLearning
courses are largely developed
using Flash
…but iPad, iPhone and
Android do not support flash
HTML5 is the newest and most advanced version of HTML. It is a big
deal for different reasons:
1. It is a cross-platform technology and cheaper
2. HTML5 promises to make content and/or the web as rich and
interactive as flash and/or native apps.

17. 04 … Responsive Design
Allows designers to build once
and deploy across device types
Reduce time to get content to
users
Reduce costs associated with
developing content

18. 04 … a new concept in content design
Mobile offers users a new way to get
content, at point of need
Content no longer needs to be courses
with sequential navigation
Resource based mLearning that allows
the learner to chose how they consume
the information – plucking!

20. 04 … a new concept in tracking
Frustrated by the restrictions
of SCORM?
TinCan opens up a world of possibilites when it comes to tracking learning activities
within your organisation.
Content no longer has to be limited to activities inside the LMS - TinCan allows you
to report on any activity, taken online or offline:
Mobile learning, simulations, virtual worlds, serious games,
real-world activities, experiential learning, social learning,
offline learning, and collaborative learning

21. 04 What is TinCan?

22. 04 Activities vs SCOs
Content will no longer just be limited to SCOs, and in this respect content
becomes part of a larger superset that we call “activities.” Content creators
will be more like “activity providers.”
The way that content communicates with LMSs changes, as well. The LMS
doesn’t need to know that the content or the learner exist until the
learning experience (or other verb) is completed.
Ref: http://scorm.com/tincan/

23. 04 LMS vs LRS
LRS vs LMS
This is a big separation from all traditional e-learning specs. An activitiy
(content) lives on its own, outside of the LMS. It is launched outside of the
LMS. In fact, an LMS becomes something more like a Learning Record Store
(LRS.)
LMSs will still play the critical roles that they do today, but content won’t
need to be delivered — only the statement. No more back-and-forth from the
content to the LMS, just send a statement to the LRS when the activity is
completed.

concept:
Responsive Design
Multi-device
Additional Resources
• Great example of how we can transform existing learning content to meet
the needs of todays modern, mobile worker.
• 26 courses available by the end of 2012

26. 03 Conclusion
End User
• Todays workers require freedom to access content anytime,
anyplace – multi-device capabilities
• Freedom to access resources even outside of the box (LMS)
•Assuming more responsibility on the user, who is now a more
mature learner and navigator – plucking
•Learning resources are available from multiple sources –
Mobile Player
•Richer and more meaningful learning experiences wich lead
to - higher skilled and motivated worforce

27. 03 Conclusion
L&D Professional
• Need to understand the new L&D Ecosystem and the part
mLearning is going to play within this
• mLearning and social learning does not lead to information
gaps – TinCan
• Need to consider as a relevant channel to deliver content
whilst remaining aware of ID considerations – HTML5
• A combination of Custom and Off the Shelf mobile (responsive
design) content is a powerful option to fullfill corporate needs
– Check LC posibilities
• Find a good mobile pilot project in your organisation and GO
for it!!
