Docebo Launches Open-Source Mobile-Learning App
Naples (I), November 2014 - Docebo, a cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) eLearning-solutions provider, has published Docebo Mobile, a mobile app that enables users to learn anywhere, anytime, on demand. Claudio Erba, Docebo's CEO, explained, "This app allows a client's workforce to access learning materials on a just-in-time basis via their mobile devices. The Docebo Mobile app allows learners to attend Docebo-based eLearning courses via a smartphone and, ultimately, via any mobile device."
"
In addition to allowing Docebo Mobile users to access courses optimised for smartphone delivery on the go, the app also enables administrators to view learners’ progress and management reports.
Docebo Mobile benefits learning-materials developers by enabling them to create their own mobile-learning apps on top of it. They can do this because of open (or public) APIs.
"Mobile-app developers can try out the Docebo platform, the Docebo software-development kit (SDK) and the mobile app at no cost," said Fabio Pirovano, Docebo’s Chief Technical Officer. "They can create their own app using our SDK, or they can integrate their own training materials with the app and 'white label' them.
"The Docebo Mobile App is open source, having been built using our public API with tools such as Apache Cordova via a technology that is available to all our clients and released under the Open Source BSD license,” he explained. “At Docebo we believe that integrating the client’s learning-management system (LMS) with other third-party systems is key, so we offer an API system for customers to leverage in order to perform these integrations.
"A powerful LMS is one that’s able to integrate with other enterprise applications, such as ERPs, HR software, reporting tools, and so on. Interconnection among such systems is key to streamlining organisational processes and improving business performance.
"You can now create your own mobile app using Docebo’s API and Mobile SDK. You can allow Docebo to take care of resource storage and tracking, while you focus your attention on the mobile experience you want to give your users."
