OREANDA-NEWS. The contest, thrown open to learning designers across Europe, now ends on March 15, 2013.

Tata Interactive Systems (TIS) had announced the LEARNow™ Learning Design Challenge (LDC) in January 2013. Many aspiring participants have requested TIS to extend the competition deadline so that they have more time to submit their entries. In light of these requests, the contest deadline has been extended to March 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 the LEARNowTM Learning Design Challenge will be judged by Donald Taylor, chairman, Learning and Skills Group and Learning Technologies Conference. Mr Taylor will evaluate the entries on below 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 the April 5, 2013 on the LEARNowTM website and get an iPad 4.
