Objective # 4
Case StudyCompany: Wiley Publishing Developer: Float Mobile LearningTechnology: Native iOS Application with Social Tools
Companion App for leadership skills development book.
Adding a companion app provided interactivity to book allowing skills practice, group participation and peer feedback. It also allowed extended engagement to assure learner transferred information and acquired new skills.
Case StudyCompany: T-MobileDeveloper: T-Mobile Learning and DevelopmentTechnology: Graphic image and SMS
A link was put at the end of an elearning and when the learner entered their mobile number and clicked the submit button a mobile commission card was sent to their phone via SMS.
Even though the idea came late in the planning the Instructional Design team was able to quickly develop and deploy this mobile performance support tool. The front line employees praised the fact that is was always available to them on their mobile device. Additional mobile resources where created based on front line requests.
Case Study
Company: T-MobileDeveloper: T-Mobile front line employeesTechnology: Mobile device and video
Capture front line retail sales elevator pitch’s. Share them out through internal social media platform. Higher level of participation than expected and better quality of videos was received. Some of the videos went viral within the organization. We also learned a valuable lesson in how skilled our front line employees where and that we needed a stronger partnership with them
