Learning Technologies 2008 - Echelon Demonstrates M-Learning

Mobile learning is a core feature of Echelon’s stand (number 85) at this month’s Learning Technologies exhibition and seminar (30th - 31st January 2008, at Olympia 2, London).

Twelve mobile learning tools benefiting customer service operatives (CSOs) in their jobs at the recently re-opened St Pancras International station are shown on the LCD screen of an attention-grabbing giant mobile phone.

Echelon has been recruiting and supporting the CSOs in their jobs as part of its successful work with London & Continental Rail, the company tasked with overseeing the transformation of the landmark London site.

Also featured at the show will be a new generation of online qualification-based university and professional learning materials developed for professional bodies, business schools and blue chip businesses.

A specific example is Echelon’s web-based ‘Urban Design Skills’ (UDS) learning, commissioned by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) as a central resource for universities and institutes participating in the government sponsored ‘Pathway to Professions’ initiative.

"The major cost in developing blended or distance learning courses for CPD, Diploma, Certificate or Masters qualifications lies in content development and its editing," explains Echelon director David Hill.

"However, being split eight ways between the universities and institutes involved, with centralised editing and web-based distribution, origination costs for Echelon UDS learning are markedly lower."
