E-learning generally refers to learning via electronic or digital media. Learning can take place either on a PC or laptop, or mobile on smartphones and tablets.
 
Classic mobile learning, as a further development of e-learning, is characterised by the fact that content is provided mobile and thus always and everywhere by means of special software and platforms and is available flexibly. Employees gain even more flexibility when the mobile learning systems are also available offline in native apps, i.e. apps that have been specially developed for the respective operating system. Learning content from the platform that was previously downloaded in the WLAN can thus also be consumed on the move without using up the data volume and being dependent on a strong internet connection.
 
Mobile learning systems thus enable learners to learn independently and individually, when and where they want. Thus, e-learning is actually only a logical consequence of the entire social development – and of digitalisation. Whereas in the past one had to constantly consult an encyclopaedia to answer everyday or school questions, people now use their smartphones, which have an answer to every question, no matter where they are. It is therefore not surprising that learning content is now also provided via the web and special software systems, the learning management systems (LMS), and that courses can also be organised digitally if required. At the same time, communication between learners and teachers, but also among each other, can be ensured on the platform with corresponding software supplements such as forum, chat, online video conferencing or other integrated communication options.

Whether in our private or professional lives, we are all subject to a constant learning process. Many employees are also very interested in further training, but they simply do not have the time to participate in traditional training opportunities. Nowadays, face-to-face seminars or timetabled e-learning courses often no longer fit into employees’ private and working lives.
 
Mobile learning changes this situation. The possibility of having access to the most important information at any time and from anywhere and of acquiring learning content regardless of location means that every employee can continue his or her education according to need. In addition, companies can provide learning content in the form of small knowledge nuggets via the given possibilities of the learning management system and thus prepare them especially for mobile learning. In addition, all contents can be viewed again and again and what has been learned can be internalised through repetition. This gives the learner absolute flexibility and a great deal of autonomy. With mobile learning, the learner also completes tests, whether voluntary or compulsory, on the move and on his or her mobile device. The knowledge tests guarantee a concrete measurability of the learning success. In addition, online seminars and certifications are possible, and learning successes can be directly incentivised – keyword gamification: playful elements and competitions spur employees on and increase the fun of learning. Consumed content and passed knowledge tests can be incentivised with points, which are then awarded with a learning status or can also be redeemed for material rewards. This increases the motivation to learn and increases the participation of the employees.
 
Learning becomes a convenient and time-saving affair with mobile learning and the software systems provided for it; knowledge can be expanded on demand. E-learning and mobile learning also reduce the need to carry around print documents and other materials. All documents and information are centrally located on a mobile learning platform and it only takes a few clicks to get direct access to this information. Mobile Learning is therefore not only suitable for the internal further training of employees in companies, but is also used in sales in digital sales support, in customer contact, with suppliers or service partners – wherever information needs to be provided simply, intuitively and on demand, and communication with each other needs to be ensured. Try it out – with Lemon®: Mobile Learning. Mobile Knowhow. Mobile Communication.

Mobile learning is generally suitable for all types of companies and employees.

However, it is particularly suitable for decentralized organizations with a large number of employees in sales, logistics, service or field service, as these employees do not have a fixed desktop workplace and are often on the move. Classic e-learning or face-to-face seminars in are therefore not optimal solutions. In addition to being used for in-company training of employees, mobile learning systems can also be used in sales in digital sales support, in customer contact, with suppliers or service partners, for example, in order to call up product knowledge and sales information that employees need at customer appointments and to be able to use it on the road.

Mobile learning also offers academies a number of advantages. Their users can study content, take tests, or follow webinars at their own pace, regardless of location and time. This means that learning is no longer tied to a desk and thus to fixed locations, but can be designed flexibly and individually. All according to the ideas and wishes of the user.

Mobile learning systems are also suitable as a supplement to face-to-face seminars, for example, to provide accompanying materials digitally during the seminar, which can be further processed after the seminar or simply stored digitally.

Of course, it doesn’t HAVE to be, but it does have its advantages. It is no longer just the external circumstances – such as the lack of network expansion with the consequence that employees on assembly, on business trips or in the store have no access to learning content and product knowledge without an available connection to the Internet – that make mobile learning and training necessary. More and more employees and private individuals also have their own desire to be able to continue their education on the move, i.e., on a smartphone or tablet. It is therefore now almost a prerequisite for an employer that digital, mobile training options are available. A mobile learning system with offline-capable, native apps is therefore an advantage.

Lemon® is a digital mobile learning and knowledge management system that distributes digital content to mobile devices and makes it available to users for further education and training or for information purposes and to support sales. The content provided can be consumed both offline and online with the help of Lemon®. Furthermore, the progress of knowledge can be trained and checked by the individual user and, if necessary, certified. Lemon® also offers the possibility for users to communicate with each other. The administrator can provide users with different access rights and manage all content.

Our system is primarily aimed at medium-sized and large companies as well as academies that have a need for a mobile learning platform.

Decentrally organized companies that depend on their employees having quick access to training materials or product information, for example, without a fixed desktop workstation are particularly suitable here. This could be, for example, sales staff at the POS or on the road, or employees on assembly. But companies where employees are not exclusively mobile also find a suitable platform in Lemon® thanks to browser access.
Academies can use Lemon to make their various courses available to different target groups in a single system. Lemon® is suitable for both the B2B and B2C business of academies.

Lemon® is a native app that runs on Apple® iPads and iPhones with iOS 11.4 or higher, and Android tablets and smartphones with Android System 5 or higher. Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Microsoft Edge are required to use the desktop version via a browser.

Lemon® is offered as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). This means that payment is made via monthly license fees for the use of the system, staggered according to the number of users.
