The ADL Mobile Learning Team is working with the Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO) to develop a Mobile Learning Decision Tool (MDT). When complete, the MDT will:

1. Be available to the entire mobile learning community (military; federal, state, and local government; international partners; academia; and industry)
2. Assist in determining what portion of a training or performance support effort would benefit from a mobile solution
3. Provide guidance on design and development considerations for mobile learning

The MDT may include how to determine appropriate content, choose a delivery platform, choose an appropriate strategy (agile, ISD, HPT or other), leverage particular features of mobile platforms for learning, and how to design assessments and conduct learning product evaluations for the mobile platform.

As part of our needs analysis, we are interviewing anyone interested in designing or creating mobile learning applications. If you have such interest/experience, we would very much like to interview you about your project successes, challenges, hard-won lessons learned, and for anyone new to mobile learning, how this tool can support you as you’re getting started.

Your feedback will help us to identify the MDT’s critical features and functionality moving forward. If you would like to be interviewed, please contact Dr. Jeffrey Beaubien at jbeaubien@aptima.com and copy us on your request so that we can keep you informed of this project as it progresses: adlmobile@adlnet.gov. You can also contact Dr. Beaubien directly at +1-781-496-2480.
