Tata Interactive Systems (TIS) develops innovative cross-platform mobile application, TrackMoBL™ to track Learning on the Go

Tata Interactive Systems (TIS), a division of Tata Industries Limited and a global leader and pioneer in custom learning solutions, has announced the release of TrackMoBL™, a mobile application to help organizations track training data from mobile devices and tablets.

The device could either be an Android-based phone or tablet, or iOS-based iPhone or iPad. TrackMoBL™ supports SCORM 1.2-compliant courses which can be downloaded, launched, and tracked. Users can download the TrackMoBL™ native application from the Apple app store, the Android Market, or an enterprise server for which the license needs to be procured by the client organization.

After downloading the native application, users can access the following:

• Courseware
Users download courses and then launch them off-line. To download the courseware, users connect to a server that hosts the training modules.

• Tracking
The native app tracks user data on the local device using SQLite database. This enables the user to exit and resume the course at any point. The native app also stores the status of the course (i. e., Not attempted, Incomplete, Completed).

• Synchronizing
The TrackMoBL™ app is designed to connect to TIS' proprietary SCORM 1.2-compliant mLMS. Using this LMS, the Administrator/Training Manager creates user accounts and uploads the courses and assigns them to the appropriate users. Users download the app and enter their credentials, which are authenticated by the LMS. Upon course completion, the data is synchronized with the LMS. Reports can be generated by the Administrator/Training Manager from the mLMS.

"We are excited to offer this application to our clients, as it helps them to more easily track training usage from mobile devices and tablets," said Tij Nerurkar, Chief Operating Officer at Tata Interactive Systems. "As a result, critical training data that was not easily available from existing mobile learning platforms can now be accessed and reviewed more quickly."
