Upside Learning To Help Organisations Design eLearning For iPads Through A Session At Learning Technologies 2013

While designing eLearning for iPads may appear relatively straight forward, given somewhat similar display areas to laptops and PCs, the context in which the iPad will be used, the ever increasing usage on the move and the changing user preferences, makes designing for iPads different and challenging. Further, the dilemma over whether to convert existing eLearning courseware into tablet compatible format or to create fresh courseware adds to the challenge.

Some key topics to be covered in the session include:

Key factors to consider for designing fresh, effective eLearning for iPads
Simple and cost–effective solutions for ‘mEnabling’ existing eLearning for iPads
Few examples showing how Upside Learning’s clients are using eLearning for iPads

Upside Learning will be addressing these and other such significant challenges related to tablet learning at its Learning Technologies 2013’s learning session. Titled ‘Designing eLearning for iPads’ the session will be delivered by Upside Learning’s Co–founder and Director of Custom Learning Solutions, Amit Garg, and Director – Client Solutions (Europe), Alan Samuel. Designing eLearning for iPads is slated for 29^th January at 12:30 p.m. in Seminar Theatre 3.Commenting on the upcoming session, Amit Garg, said, “eLearning on iPads is seen as one of the fastest growing and upcoming trend in workplace learning, but when it comes to designing eLearning for iPads, the battle is still on.
