~ Democratizing Mobile Learning ~
For immediate release – Fremont, CA. April 27, 2010
Fremont, April 27, 2010: Emantras, Inc. introduces Mobl21, a platform designed to make mobile education highly accessible and meaningful. After a successful beta deployment period, the alpha release is now live.
Mobl21 Beta was shared with a select target audience comprising of parents, teachers, students, universities, schools and enterprises who provided valuable feedback to improve the platform. The alpha release incorporated feedback as relevant and many more advanced features are being incorporated over the next months.
Mobl21 is designed for educators to create learning content quickly and effectively; for learners to create their own study material; and for publishers to create content that will complement formal text and online courseware. Within an enterprise setting, the platform delivers significant value in driving a “micro-learning” strategy to enhance performance. Mobl21 democratizes mobile education – it is accessible enough for individual educators and learners to adopt and scalable enough for institutional and enterprise adoption.
Speaking about Mobl21, Sesh Kumar, Founder & CEO, Emantras said, “Educators are looking for new ways to engage and support their learners, and we have built a platform that helps them do just that. The feedback we have got from the users of the beta version is very encouraging and we believe that this is a product that truly delivers significant value to the learning eco-system and makes mobile learning accessible to a global audience.”
The mobile phone is no longer a simple voice communication tool and like all communication and computing devices, mobile phones can also be used for learning. Mobl21 untethers learning and provides a unique opportunity to compliment existing learning methods. The current release supports the iPhone/iPod Touch and Web 2.0 desktop widget. Android, RIM (BlackBerry), Symbian, and other touch points are in the pipeline for the next 12 months.
