Mobile platforms such as iPhones, iPads, and Android – powered smart phones all belong to a category that holds a lot of exciting potential for increasing participant activity levels during training and team building experiences. We have recently begun featuring  an e-learning and team building platform that we call  iTeam Technology. iTeam Technology is a unique and flexible mobile gaming platform that allows small teams or individuals to use Android powered smart phones or tablets for playing interactive learning games, engaging in team building activities, enjoying photo scavenger hunts, or even as an mobile electronic on-boarding guide for new employees. We use  this particular tool for a variety of reasons:

-It is highly customizable and configurable – timers, multiple choice questions, SMS, write in questions, photos, video, etc.

-It is stable and not dependent on wifi or cell signal! Content is pre-developed and loaded,usable at anytime, then interactive when in wifi or cell coverage zones.

-It is fun and easy to use

-As activity leaders, it allows us to monitor individual or team progress and to selectively interact with teams.

We have just begun to scratch the surface of where, when and how we can apply eLearning and mobile platforms in corporate and adult education – stay tuned, and feel free to ask us about working with you to create custom implementations of this technology with your students, clients or work teams!
