BlueVolt Learning Management System Goes Mobile

BlueVolt, the leading provider of online Learning Management Systems (LMS) for the manufacturing, construction and service industries, announces the release of its HTML5 mobile interface. BlueVolt’s elearning users can now access interactive courses, quizzes and videos from any mobile device such as the iPad, iPhone and Android browsers – without relying on the use of Adobe Flash software.

In addition to supporting interactive content the new mobile interface features simple-to-navigate, enhanced functionality for mobile learners.

“People are increasingly on-the-go and our new technology allows learners to access online courses whenever and wherever is most convenient for them,” said Belinda Runkle, BlueVolt director of engineering. “Our elearning experts addressed the biggest roadblock to making elearning mobile-friendly; Flash is no longer required.”

The new mobile interface also makes uploading video a breeze. BlueVolt’s LMS administrators can upload virtually any video format, which is automatically transcoded (using cloud-based technology) into multiple formats and viewable from any modern web browser or mobile device.

Mobile-friendly elearning videos are also encoded in high-bandwidth and low-bandwidth modes, so that users can choose the mode that best suits their viewing environment. And administrators can measure completion of videos, files and documents with seat-time tracking.

“Since BlueVolt launched in 2002, we have focused on making our LMS as easy to use as possible for administrators and users,” said Belinda Runkle. “This new mobile interface is another demonstration of our simple design philosophy.”

The new interface, while in Beta, is available for free, for a limited time, to all existing BlueVolt LMS customers and learners.
