OREANDA-NEWS. January 16, 2013. Tata Interactive Systems (TIS) has announced the LEARNow Learning Design Challenge (LDC), 2013. The contest, thrown open to learning designers from across Europe, begins on January 11 and ends on February 15, 2013.

Using TIS’s mobile authoring tool, LEARNow, participants have to create a five-minute learning nugget on the topic 'How can I get my CEO (even) more interested in training?'

Based on TIS’s proprietary FRUN (fluid resolution universal navigation) technology, the LEARNow platform offers authoring and publishing tools to seamlessly deliver content across multiple operating systems and devices like smartphones, tablets and laptops. To win the competition, the content submitted by contestants must look equally splendid on a PC, tablet or a smartphone.

Entries for LDC will be judged by Donald Taylor, the chairman of Learning and Skills Group and Learning Technologies Conference. Mr Taylor will evaluate the entries on the following parameters:

Does the content meet the learning objective?

Is it suitable for deployment on mobile devices as well as PCs?

How innovative is the approach?

The winner will be announced on March 4, 2013 on the LEARNow website and will win an iPad 4.
