Therefore, it comes as no surprise that businesses are trying to use mobile training apps as a cost-effective and easy way to train employees. More and more apps are being developed for the purpose of education and business training. Below we feature a list of applications using their platform to teach.

With learning, you cannot expect a one app approach fits all, some businesses have gone down an alternative route. For example, Candy Washington uses podcasts to teach people about self-love and how to develop yourself on a personal level.

What makes a good teaching app?
Having an app is just half the battle, having a successful one is a whole other story and is dependent on a number of factors. For instance, it needs to be easily accessible, up to date, relevant and user friendly. These factors are all integral to a successful eLearning application. It has been recently found that 90% of mobile time is spent on mobile apps, and so it makes sense that businesses are trying to capitalize on this and utilize the growing use of mobile applications.

Developing an e-learning mobile application
You may be sitting there thinking you have a great idea for a new business teaching style app, and if so, there is a lot to consider! When you start your journey, it is important to understand how to start an app business before diving straight in. App creation is a long, but rewarding process, and with how technology dependent our society has become it is definitely a market worth getting into, whether that is creating a mobile application or using it. However, you do need to know the right people and gather an innovative team to work with. There’s nothing that can’t be achieved with the right people by your side.

It is no secret that these styles of training apps are the future of learning and development, not just in terms of developing business skills, but also in covering a whole spectrum of skills. We are lucky enough to have access to courses including coding, meditation, teaching, fitness, self-love and more.
