Learners want the flexibility to integrate their learning units into their daily routine. Very often, they want to learn spontaneously at any time and in any place. Furthermore, learners often have to switch between topics and manage several personal learning projects these days. Hence the motto: Learn what you want, where you want, and when you want. HTML5 is perfectly suited to meet the requirements of the mobile-learning trend. The latest IMC whitepaper outlines why this is the case.

The whitepaper deals with the evolution of eLearning towards m-learning and explains technical terms and keywords such as "responsive design" and "mobile first". Based on this, the advantages of HTML5 for the creation of eLearning content are presented in detail, as is the logic behind the HTML5 slogan "simple is better". "Simplify wherever possible" perfectly matches the idea of mobile learning, according to which learners wish to use short and easy learning content fitted to their current needs.

Last but not least, the advantages of HTML5 within the context of mobile-learning projects are illustrated based on two concrete customer projects conducted by IMC. The first example is the International Federation of Red Cross and Crescent Societies (IFRC), which provides its international employees and volunteers with learning courses in the form of mobile websites. These are designed to sensitize and train learners on the supply of healthcare measures to the population in cases of emergency. The second example is Lafarge, which uses a modularly structured web-based training with responsive design to teach employees how to talk about sustainable building constructions with various stakeholders.
