Why Mobile Works?
Offer Bite Sized Nuggets. The
nature of mobile usage--waiting at a bus
stop, sitting on a bench at lunch--means
learners want task completion in a relatively
small chunk of time. “Micro Progress”
Cross Platform. Watching a video or
vocabulary learning are ideally suited for mobile;
writing, live tutoring or speaking practice less so.
“Synchronized Progress”
In App Messages. Open rates 50%
higher on mobile products. Automated too:
“I noticed you didn’t practice in the last 3
days,” or through tools that allow teachers to
listen in on student progress and provide
personalized feedback.
