Why Mobile Learning Drives Performance and Building a Workforce Ready for the Future
As of 2025, hundreds of millions of companies representing almost half of all companies around the world have incorporated mobile learning into their training and development programs. Accessibility, remote work and continuous uplifting needs have led to mobile-based solutions being adopted.
A significant portion of corporate e-learning is still occurring on desktops and laptops, but mobile learning is on the rise. The desktop remains the main device for more complex training and longer learning modules. Mobile learning is rapidly increasing in the enterprise landscape, with mobile-first strategies being adopted widely.
The rise of mobile learning has not happened on its own. It’s just a small part of the puzzle. Several other trends form the learning environment. Here we dive deeper into these trends.
Wide shift
Map the broad shifts that have driven the growth of mobile learning.
Remote/Hybrid Work Setup
According to a Statista report, 28% of employees worldwide rose from 2023 to 20% in 2020. From 20% after Covid, more companies are adopting hybrid working models. LinkedIn’s 2024 report, Global State of Remote and Hybrid Work, highlights the new normal of hybrid work as organizations strive to balance employee flexibility through on-site, field and remote work blends.
Continuous learning
Business terrain is very competitive. Changing customer demand and evolving technology puts the company in a dominant position. Companies need to innovate every moment to stay ahead of the curve. This has prompted a quick adjustment of skill requirements.
The shelf life of the skills has been reduced, and employees must continue to mature and reskill.
eLearning
Adult learners prefer the flexibility to access training on any device at any time, making e-learning an important element of modern training programs. Most of them prefer to use mobile devices to complete online courses when convenient.
E-learning plays a key role due to the need for hybrid work setup and continuous learning. The growing need for hybrid work models and continuous learning has made e-learning an essential part of involving and driving the workforce.
Short study course
Traditional classrooms and long-term courses were unable to attract learners and could not deliver sub-ROIs to the enterprise. In response, the organization moved to creating short, standalone courses that revolve around one learning goal. These courses can be separated by employee busy schedules.
Mobile learning then becomes a powerful tool to provide bite-sized courses at the moments needed, allowing continuous learning and keeping the company competitive.
Responsive design
In the meantime, eLearning courses have achieved multi-Davis compatibility through responsive design. This will reflect one design in the view of any device, providing optimized learning interactions. Viewing courses across your device will create greater engagement and better learning experiences.
scenario
Let’s take a look at some scenarios where mobile learning can help improve learning outcomes.
Global sportswear companies had to keep both internal staff and external retail partners up to date on the frequently changing product lines. We have deployed mobile first microlessans for our company’s employees and retail partners. The course covers both product knowledge and brand training. They can be completed on the commute or in-store, on-site, on-site, on-site, on-site breaks or in-store. This allowed the company to expand its training across geographical boundaries, increasing its confidence and performance on-site.
Global financial services leaders have leveraged mobile learning to improve the speed and effectiveness of employee compliance training. Compared to traditional methods, the time spent training has been reduced by almost half. Despite the shortened sessions, completion rates and knowledge retention increased.
Financial institutions have launched mobile learning programs for financial professionals. Busy experts can access the program anytime, anywhere. Employees learned at their own pace, increasing completion rates and overall workforce efficiency.
Food delivery companies have significantly increased their completion rates after incorporating attendance in training activities and short e-learning (mobile accessible) and in-person training.
Use Cases
In addition to e-learning courses, JobAids, How-to Clips, Checklists, Micronudges, and Short Quiz, it can be tailored to your daily rhythm (commuting, breaks, and between calls). Here are some examples of use cases:
Frontline employees can scan the QR code of their equipment for a 90-second troubleshooting clip. On-site workers (operation, retail, delivery) have quick access to SOPS as a tapable checklist. Customer success and sales teams can go through a short refresh before a meeting, or get quick practice prompts and challenge cards. Technicians and engineers can be guided by telephone AR assistance steps. Their job ticket types are tied to a safety microrefresher. Micromodules are available for all topics, including risk management and compliance. Memory boosters or follow-up courses can be added at specific intervals. It can promote geotargeting updates related to local laws and other things on mobile.
Why does mobile learning become a performance multiplier?
The transition to mobile learning has increased engagement and learner satisfaction across industries around the world.
Mobile learning increases accessibility and allows learners to study anytime, anywhere. Bicycle-sized, easy-to-understand content increases engagement and is often delivered through an interactive, game-based format. This approach supports both individuals and collaborative learning, leading to improved knowledge retention. The know-how is spreading faster.
Mobile learning is a secret weapon because training is continuous, engaging, accessible and measurable. It unlocks learning opportunities and helps organizations adopt flexible talent strategies to achieve future preparation and workforce agility.
