MoLearn - 21st century's lo-tech learning platform

What is it???

  • This is a unique initiative that converge the power of mobile and web application for the benefit of your learning.
  • This makes it possible for you to have complete control on how you learn and when you learn, and hence dispelling a lot of widely-held beliefs.

How does it work???
1. The entire learning module is broken into hundreds of learning-chunks,
2. The essence of each of these learning-chunks is then ‘compacted’ to enable to be sent as a SMS to you; say, 5 of them in a day.
3. You could then log onto certain pre-identified web-portals such as a LMS or a micro-site to access the SMS-series and their supporting text to know more about them. The sequentially placed SMSs (and their supporting text) on the web-portal gives you the entire picture.
4. One could setup a mail account to entertain request for additional information on a specified topic or clarification on any of the learning-chunks.
5. You could then take the assessments on the LMS. This ‘assessment’ feature could be enabled on the mobile as well.
WoW! An effortless and fun way of learning!
There must something that it can’t do…
  • O! Yes. It can’t replace the value that a trainer brings in form of tacit knowledge.
  • It can’t train you on skills such as selling, negotiation, swimming, cutting vegetables, driving a car etc. On the other hand it can give you the requisite knowledge, and hence prepare you in some way.
