5. Think about
Content and
Context
•mLearning is not eLearning on mobile
•Context of learning
•Affordance of devices
•Performance Support
Target
Devices
•Narrow the field down
•Choose the design approach
Offline
Availability
•Offline learning, re-established syncing
•App based learning
The tool
•Choose if you convert or re create content
•Choose the right tool and LMS

6. • Go for a minimalistic GUI
• Present content keeping the screen in mind (Millers Law)
• Avoid intricate graphics and images
• Use recognizable icons
• Photographs
• Avoid background images and patterns
• Reduce scrolling by using concise text patterns
• Simple colors and fonts
• Inforgraphics with optimum resolution
Remembering Visual Aesthetics

7. Retention and Reflection
Learning retention can be improved by spacing out the learning and providing repetition
and an opportunity for reflection. This spacing is effective both on the level of the initial
content presentation as well as refresher/reminder training (to prevent knowledge
decay of information that one seldom uses).
“The spacing effect is one of the most reliable findings in the learning research, but it is,
unfortunately, one of the least utilized learning methods in the workplace learning
field.”-Thalimer,2006

8. Value of Repetition
• Helps us absorb information we missed earlier
• Helps us remember things we’d forgotten
• Strengthens and enriches what we know
• Spacing may slow learning, but it improves remembering
Mobile devices provide inexpensive capabilities to deploy reminders and refresher
materials.
