NASHUA, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SkillSoft, a leading SaaS provider of e-learning and performance support solutions for global enterprises, government, education and small to medium-sized businesses, today announced the availability of a new infographic outlining best practices for companies developing a mobile learning strategy. As smartphone and tablet use in the workplace increases, many organizations are implementing mobile learning into their learning programs. To ensure success, companies need to fully evaluate the different aspects that make up a good mobile learning strategy. SkillSoft’s Mobile Learning infographic provides organizations with a visual tool to help them determine when to implement a mobile learning strategy and what that strategy should encompass.
