The rapid increase in mobile phone development means that even the most basic phones are capable of displaying visually rich interactive learning content. Wireless connectivity is increasing across the country with access points available in Airports, Hotels and even coffee shops. Add to this the investment in 3G by the mobile telecom industry, and it is now possible to see how m-learning has become more than a buzz word.

Productivity Point has seized the opportunities made available through this emerging technology and created m-learning programs for its clients. These programs have brought an increase in staff participation to its clients by delivering content in such an innovative way.

Take, for example, a major mobile network operator. Content could be pre-installed on customer phones so that store associates were able to learn in store during down time or, alternatively, demonstrate their product to customers. For an international construction company - an industry where the staff is working at various locations, sub-contractors come and go, and computers are not generally available - this alternative approach could be the most effective way of deploying their most important Health & Safety Legislation training.
