A cursory investigation into ways to reduce programming repetitiveness and improve engagement level might lead one to think this problem is easily solved through tools or templates. However, it’s not that simple.

In this session, Matt Kurtin will draw on a mixture of practical mobile Learning development experience and widely accepted computer science principles to uncover the pros and cons of various mobile learning authoring tools, templates, models, and patterns.

Participants will learn about authoring tool selection concepts that are relevant for all e-learning and mobile learning programmers. Once an authoring tool is chosen, productivity can be enhanced by understanding reusable functions, separating content and functionality, and debugging functionality. By playing an exciting card game, participants will see real-world examples from actual mobile learning courses and tools, including how templates, models, and patterns can enhance the authoring tool chosen.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

Identify strengths and weaknesses of tools, templates, models, and patterns.
Identify the pros and cons of various authoring tools.
Communicate tips for improving mobile learning programming efficiency using authoring tool composition.
Communicate tips for efficient mobile learning programming in a variety of authoring tools.
