10 Reasons Why You Need a Mobile Learning Management System 

By Hurix | Digital Products & Platforms | Comments are Closed | 20 March, 2020 | 1

This blog talks about 10 Reasons Why Enterprises Need a Mobile LMS (Learning Management System)

With more than 3.5 billion smartphone users around the world, it is safe to say that we are living in a mobile world. In corporate L&D teams, smartphones have become essential, as baby boomers slowly make way for the millennials and Gen Y.

That is the reason there is a growing demand for mobile learning management systems. After all, early adopters of mobile LMS have understood that learning shouldn’t be enforced, but flexible and on-demand.

Let's look at the top reasons why you might need a mobile LMS for your workforce.

1. Everyone is Going Mobile

According to RCR Wireless News, the global mobile workforce is expected to be 1.87 billion people by 2022. There is a tectonic shift in primary work devices as the workforce moves towards more portable and smaller devices for their convenience and flexibility.

In such a scenario, a mobile LMS is a way to make learning on-demand, even without an internet connection. This will allow your workforce to access learning anytime and from anywhere.

2. Flexibility

Another vested power of mobile phones is the flexibility they provide users. A mobile LMS gives users the flexibility to learn on the go rather than being tied down to their laptop or desktop.

It spares employees from carrying around the company’s laptops and bring their own personal devices for training and learning. According to a study by Gartner, 70% of on-the-go professionals tended to business needs on their personal mobile devices in 2018.

3. Encourages JIT Learning

Since almost everyone uses smartphones and keep them handy, mobile LMS can encourage Just-In-Time (JIT) learning. JIT learning is a modern approach that promotes need-relate training to employees, when and where they need it. Since it is available with or without an internet connection, it can act as the go-to place for JIT learning.

4. Tracking and Reporting

You can’t improve what you can’t measure, an adage that is so true to the learning and development function. Learning effectiveness is often calculated based on the data and feedback garnered through reporting.

A mobile LMS is great to track results since it is equipped with an online tracking mechanism, similar to a more traditional LMS. It can create reports on top learners, active users, and other learning metrics. This information can then be presented to the management for reviewing the success of training programs, improving the quality of course material and identifying the areas of improvement.

5. Native apps

One of the biggest advantages of a mobile LMS is its offline mode that allows learners to use their offline time in learning new courses or accessing training materials. Mobile users can download the content on their device and access it as many times as they want.

The app is able to track the progress through a simple authentication process and is synced to the backend, whenever the app is connected to the internet. For your workforce, it means continuous learning and seamless experience.

6. Retention

In a connected, multi-screened world, learners have several options when it comes to the consumption of content. The screens are as varied as the content that is consumed through them, and a by-product of such diversity is the decreasing attention span of the audiences.

A Mobile LMS makes for a better case than other forms because it is available on a screen that people use the most.

Mobile LMS uses all multimedia to its advantage. The platform provides the creators to use numerous engaging forms of media to convey the information and make the learning process interesting. Accessibility, combined with the multimedia features of mobile LMS, almost guarantees the retention of information.

7. Increases Engagement

Mobile LMS increases engagement by allowing employees to access, learn, and interact with different types of content when and where they want. A well-developed solution uses gamification, interactive videos, and microlearning to make the entire training experience a delight. It makes learning more impactful and a preferred choice for all types of users.

8. Relevant and Personal

Mobile LMS offers unmatched personalization and relevance based on the user’s preferences. It focuses on targeted learning through advanced features like voice-based searches and search patterns to deliver a personalized and relevant learning experience for each user. What’s more, voice-based searches allow users to get just-in-time answers to all the questions.

9. Stay Ahead of the Curve

Contrary to popular belief, mobile LMS is not a thing of the future but a thing to stay ahead of the curve. When connected with advanced wearable technologies like augmented reality and virtual reality, it can open endless possibilities of providing an unmatched learning experience. It is by far the most advanced learning technology available in today’s time.

10. Cost-effective

Online training has its own benefits when it comes to costs since it saves travel expenses, venue hire and catering in addition to the fee of facilitators and training material like stationary.

Moreover, online training can be re-used and updated without spending a lot of time and money. It can also reach more learners than a typical workshop or classroom training. With a mobile LMS, all this gets even better.

When you create shorter courses, it takes lesser time to transfer knowledge and collect feedback. It makes the courses more interesting and content even more consumable while saving designing and delivery costs.

Final Thoughts

Mobile LMS is gradually becoming a popular choice among organizations for several reasons. Some of the reasons include the growth of companies, the rapidly increasing mobile workforce, and the rising dependency and usage of mobile devices.

That’s why it is the next big thing in L&D across businesses. Mobile devices provide unmatched flexibility and improve the entire learning experience. To sum it up, it is an engaging way to train your workforce.
