VIA and MobilePaks Exhibiting at mLearnCon 2013 June 18-20

PORTLAND, Ore. - May 30, 2013 - PRLog -- Portland, OR –VIA Learning and MobilePaks will be demonstrating innovative mobile learning solutions to increase engagement and retention at the mLearnCon 2013 Mobile Learning Conference & Expo in San Jose, Calif. on June 18-20.

The world is shifting to a mobile-driven information society and employees are asking organizations to follow suit. According to Forrester, over 1 billion smartphones and tablets will be in the pockets of global consumers and professionals by 2016, with 257 million smartphones and 126 million tablets in the U.S. alone. These advances in technology are giving us access to knowledge like we never imagined with connection to the Internet virtually anywhere, fully-functional computing in the palm of our hands and instantaneous search.

Mobile-ready data, when delivered well, provides workers with convenient access to vital company knowledge, making it an ideal tool for improving time-management, boosting performance and increasing productivity. That said, just making information available on a mobile device doesn’t make it effective and in fact may make it worse. The key to building engaging mobile programs for performance support is to keep it simple, accessible and findable.

VIA’s award winning team understands the art and science required to create effective custom learning services – from game, web and mobile programs to course conversion. In addition, MobilePaks supports companies around the world with an on-demand knowledge platform that empowers organizations to better engage and educate their users with personalized, relevant information. It is device agnostic and will work on any smartphones, tablets, laptops or desktop computers. Plus, MobilePaks enables managers to quickly author, convert, push and track content-rich bits of knowledge and education to provide a simple, anytime, anyplace, educational experience.  

VIA’s dedicated learning specialists will be on-site to discuss solutions to overcoming a variety of business challenges including on-boarding, sales/channel enablement and compliance training for the mobile workforce. In addition, MobilePaks representatives will demonstrate how to offer on-demand learning and performance support to employees with the innovative cloud solution.

"As a strategic partner, VIA provides incredibly valuable insight on both best practices and thought leadership for mobile training and learning that is accessible, repeatable and scalable,” said Julie Anne Reda, VP of Product Strategy, Yesmail Interactive. “Their insightful recommendations and quick turn-around times, combined with the easy to use MobilePaks cloud solution, enabled us to deliver a program to our staff that ensures consistent knowledge of the Yesmail product platform. I would highly recommend them."
