4 Key Trends (for now) HTML5 / Responsive Tin Can API Incorporating Social Learning DIY Content Part 1 Part 2
Poll # 1 • Our employees or customers or business • Will demand learning on tablets and smart phones • Will require performance support on mobile • Will mandate that we move to mobile in addition to PC learning • Will require shorter development times for learning
Agenda Move to Mobile - Responsive HTML Content Tin Can API Q&A
Move to Mobile Responsive HTML Content
What is HTML5? HTML5 is the latest HTML standard What is new? New Elements Full CSS3 Support 2D/3D Graphics Local SQL Database Web Applications New Attributes Video and Audio Local Storage
Will Flash be Replaced by HTML? Inevitable as mobile devices don’t support Flash but gradual as HTML5 is not perfect Mobile Capabilities Semantic mark-ups Security Processing and battery power saving Processing and battery power saving Source – http://elearningindustry.com/is-the-migration-of-flash-elearning-courses-to-html5-becoming-a-reality http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
4 Important Drawbacks of HTML5 vs. Flash • Not fully supported by all browsers • Cross platform/browser compatibility • Limited graphics and animations delivery - HTML5 alternative restricts highly interactive animations and quality graphics • Lack of audio/video support VS Source – http://elearningindustry.com/is-html5-ready-for-the-elearning-industry
Poll # 2 • We are moving our online learning from Flash to HTML • Now or in next 6 months • 6 - 12 months • 1 - 2 years • No plans or have not thought about it • Don't know much about Tin Can API
What is Responsive? eLearning that responds to device size Responsive Course built using our FRED Framework http://bit.ly/fredone
Benefits of Responsive eLearning • Enhanced reach – higher uptake • Single source – lower cost, maintenance • Track across devices

4 Key Considerations (HTML5/ Responsive) Browser Platform OS Device Combination Usability Content Development & Treatment Development Process
Too many combinations • Testing • Lower browser versions • Video / audio formats Browser Platform OS Device Combination
Touch friendly • Navigation • Instructions • Text readability Usability
Layout • Managing images • Animations • Layering interactivities Content Development & Treatment
Fluid & iterative • Higher interdependence • Storyboard focused on core content/visuals • Higher testing time DevelopmentProcess
An HTML – CSS – Javascript based framework to create responsive eLearning easily
Design & Development Implications (HTML5 / Responsive) Analysis Design Develop Implement Evaluate • Identify eLearning that need to go multi device • Start with appropriate legacy courses • Context is key / Responsibly responsive • Identify primary devices • Mobile first design strategy • Be ready for iterative process • More time/cost needed in general • Use tools/frameworks • Testing time will increase by 25% • Need tools like Adobe Inspect • Arrange for physical devices • Learn from the experience to refine the process • Gather user feedback for future development Recommendation: Develop a technical framework or use third party technical framework.
Poll # 3 • We will use Tin Can API • Don't know much about Tin Can API • Exploring now • In the next 6 - 12 months • More than 12 months • No plans
What is it? • Next generation of SCORM • Experience API (or xAPI) • Aims to overcome limitations of SCORM
How’s it different? Simulation Perf Support Games Mobile Offline No browser Events
How does it work? Services Storage Statements
How does it work? Learning data is delivered to an LRS LRS Course Webpage Game Simulator
How does it work? Reporting Tool LMS LMS Transcripts / learning data can be delivered to LMSs, LRSs or reporting tools. LRS
How does it work? Transcripts / learning records can be shared between LRSs Learning LRS 3 Activity LRS 1 LRS 2 LMS 1 LMS 2 Reporting Reporting
What can it do? • No dependence on LMS • Recognise that learning is everywhere • Great opportunity to capture data about Informal Learning – 70:20:10 • How do people learn certain skills/competencies? • Which path is most effective – recommend to others? • Who are your most competent resources • Spot areas which people are choosing to learn about • Free the data, share between LMS, allow learners to carry their data
Implications (Tin Can API) • Link performance with training • Massive amounts of data: challenge & opportunity • Tin Can applications are still evolving • SCORM is not going anywhere…soon • You can convert SCORM data to Tin Can data (SCORM Engine)
How we can help with Next Gen Learning Technical Reliability Cost Effectiveness Innovation Business Outcome Focussed
