SGL's Adaptive Mobile Learning: Software-as-a-Service
Boston, MA (US), September 2012 - The next generation of Adaptive Mobile Learning (AMOL) is on the market. Synaptic Global Learning's (SGL) AMOL supports classroom and online instruction on mobile devices (iPad1/2, Android Tablets) with success by increasing student online-course completion rates. Educational programs that have used AMOL - 4DL HITE demonstrate the highest rate of course completion in online education (90-95%). It is being adopted globally by K-12 and university practitioners.
AMOL - 4DL HITE Technology moves away from the one-size-fits-all online LMS platforms and provides instructional content that responds to users' learning preferences in real time. SGL offers the only patented software-as-a-service adaptive learning technology platform to educational institutions for the design, development, and deployment of online programs. For the first time, authors, educators, designers, and developers can create their own courses and generate revenue for themselves and their institutions. For a small subscription fee, courses are available for purchase at SGL's Course Store.
The model allows users to create their own Adaptive Mobile Learning courses using SGL's progressive application suite:
- AMOL™ (Adaptive Mobile Learning) is a powerful, adaptive, data-driven learning technology platform. It replaces old LMS technology with a personalized learning experience;

It stores all courses developed with the iDesigner tool and also maintains all multimedia and content assets with metadata. This repository can be used to build more courses, with different concept maps as needed;
