One of the most relevant tools (currently) for performance support. Myriad number of operating platforms, device types and variations in supported technologies make it difficult (and at times impractical) to create a unified solution which works well across the board. One of the best ways to offer quick, real-time on-demand performance support. More than pushing training on to a mobile device, designing mobile performance support solutions would be the greatest opportunity. number of these posts can be found at this link. Weaknesses.

In my interactions with various business owners & training managers I’ve found a performance support initiative gets the management nod more easily as compared to a training initiative.

Examples of Workplace Learning (Performance Support) Apps. Why Mobile? MORE >>

At presentations and workshops, I am often asked to recommend tools for authoring mobile learning. do not recommend any tools, but do encourage them to check with their current authoring tool vendor to see what their plans are for mobile, as many vendors are moving in this direction. Recently I have gathered information on the current tools and have compiled the following list. will publish a complete listing and will attempt to keep it updated MORE >>
