According to a survey by the Chief Learning Officer Business Intelligence Board, conducted in June of this year, 52% of those in charge of adapting a company’s workforce to future jobs expect to invest in mobile learning content and increase its use as a learning method in 2019.
This shows a clear trend of how Mobile Learning is becoming the preferred method of learning in the future, especially when compared to 2014, when only 12% of e-learning was directed towards mobile devices.
Today, on the other hand, it reaches 76%, with scalability and efficiency being the main reasons for Chief Learning Officers to lean towards this type of learning. More than half of the respondents – 54% – state that an important factor in mobile learning is its ability to reach a large audience with few resources, followed by 36% citing cost savings.
Not only its ability to reach many people efficiently and economically is what encourages investment in Mobile Learning platforms, but mobile learning is also making its way into a variety of content areas, from soft skills like leadership to hard technical skills.
For this reason, the learning industry has reached a turning point when it comes to the use of mobile platforms and approaches to employee learning. It is highly unlikely that we will go back.
