CogBooks offers pre-made, course-complete biology and U.S. history courseware that is adaptive and customizable by instructors (CogBooks.com). CogBooks is accessible on your mobile device and encourages mobile learning.
CogBooks is also an adaptive learning authoring tool that matches course content to individual students based on how they interact with the course (CogBooks.com).
Cogbooks creates a “learner profile” as students move through questions, and analyzes data on the way whole groups of students interact with it.
CogBooks’ cloud-based courseware also includes reporting and analytics and is fully customizable by instructors. Instructors can use the courseware when teaching in fully online or blended formats (CogBooks.com).
CogBooks can be accessed on any mobile device.
CogBooks utilizes adaptive learning. Adaptive learning is one technique for providing personalized learning, which aims to provide efficient, effective, and customized learning paths to engage each student. Adaptive learning systems use a data-driven approach to adjust the path and pace of learning, enabling the delivery of personalized learning at scale. Adaptive systems can support changes in the role of faculty, enable innovative teaching practices, and incorporate a variety of content formats to support students according to their learning needs (Library.educause.edu).
Adaptivity
The content can be adjusted in relation to a learner's knowledge
Customization
Educators and course designers can alter learning or assessment content
Assessment
The presence of academic structures and the capacity to assess learning in relation to them
Collaboration
Ability for learners and/or educators to engage with each other in the context of learning
1. Learning Flexibility.
Online learning created flexibility by eliminating the need for learning to happen at a set time and a set place. Now mobile takes learning flexibility even further by making instructional content such as videos, podcasts, and other multimedia formats available on smartphones and tablets. What’s more, learners have the added flexibility of being able to access this content on their mobile devices whenever and wherever they want.
2. Improved Completion And Retention Rates.
Learning only happens when instructional content is completed and key points are retained. Mobile learning is designed to create engagement, which leads to course completion. And being that mobile learning is also tailored to fit the device usage habits and learning patterns of today’s learners, the result is higher rates of retention.
3. Online Learning Communities.
Today’s younger employees enjoy collaborating with others in the workplace. And mobile devices are important tools for engaging learners towards the establishment of online learning communities where more effective learning can take place.
4. Learning Οn Multiple Devices.
Employee training needs to be convenient. And technology makes it possible for the same eLearning courses to be available on all devices an employee might interact with on a daily basis, from PCs and laptops to tablets and smartphones.
5. Better Performance.
Employees prefer learning methods that don’t disrupt their daily routines. Information must be made easy to access while at work. The result is the creation of an employee learning habit that supports a higher quality of workplace performance.
6. A Clear Path to Learning.
Many of today’s mobile learning platforms for organizations are integrated with phone-based learning reminders and organizers. This allows learners to receive ongoing alerts and updates on their courses, which they can check on their smartphones while on the go, anywhere and at any time. Learners can also easily pick up coursework right where they left off, without losing the content they previously studied. This makes for a more personalized learning path than can be achieved in a non-mobile learning platform.
Mobile learning benefits are revolutionizing the eLearning process. As the rapid proliferation of mobile devices continues, more organizations will recognize the competitive advantages that come from leveraging modern technological advancements to create powerful tech-centric learning experiences for their mobile empowered employees (elearningindustry.com, 2019).
