Trainers are used to the technology… because a lot of technology training has been conducted
New demands for training and ADL No Desk No Laptop Quick Always online (almost) Messy Mobile Personal
How to support learning through the technology that is in the learners’ hands? Within this focus we ask ourselves
How can we pave the path for trainers to make the technological transition? For the supporting ADL practice this translates to ….
Today’s Training and ADL Practice in Security and Defense Organizations • Web-based • Content Centric and Multi-media • Summative Assessment
Today’s Training and ADL Practice in Security and Defense Organizations • Web-based • Content Centric and Multi-media • Summative Assessment Well supported by SCORM
Today’s Training and ADL Practice in Security and Defense Organizations Well supported by SCORM • Web-based • Content Centric and Multi-media • Summative Assessment • Formative Assessment • Continuity of Learning • Social Media • Mobility of Learners

How can we support learner mobility within the constraints of SCORM? The primary question for the ISN research
Mobility Requirements • Provide access to learning • Flexibility regarding time • Timing • Duration • Support for unforeseen offline periods • Connected to the VLE
Technology • Hybrid HTML5 app • Support for iOS and Android (reaching > 80% of the target audience) • OAuth protocol • Secure and persistent VLE connection • Learning material is stored on the mobile devices • Users can access the the material when they want without bothering about their connectivity • Transparent data exchange protocols • All analytics are done on the mobile device • Users do not need to be online to get feedback on their performance
Interoperability • IMS QTI Item Pool functionality (test-less IMS QTI) • Data exchange between VLEs through valid SCORM packages • Learner activity tracking • No additional authoring environment needed • Most VLEs already implement this feature
Interoperability Challenges • Most VLEs are not ready for connecting with external tools. • SCORM does not explicitly require IMS QTI support. • Some SCORM editors implement tests based on IMS Simple Sequencing
Content • Content from courses on the VLE used • Direct use of pre-existing QTI item pools • Authoring within the VLE • No additional tool training for content authors • The Content is automatically adapted on the mobile device.
Content Challenges • Content works differently on the Web than on mobiles • This is not related to presentation to content! • Creating test items that are beneficial for learning • Providing feedback that supports understanding
Content works differently on mobiles Try to remember this when going to the answers
Content works differently on mobiles True-Or-False items are neither challenging nor fun after answering them the first time
Content works differently on mobiles Items might be too easy
Content works differently on mobiles What will be learned if everything is correct? (although it might make sense in a test)
Next steps • Getting Mobler Cards into the application stores • Test the effectiveness of the tool under realistic conditions • Better QTI Support • Content adaptation for existing courses • Content sequencing
