Senior Education and Workforce Development Adviser on the
Cost-effectiveness of Implementing Mobile Learning for
Scotland’s Social Services Sector
Not only does this (mobile learning) remove the cost of travel to
a central training location and minimise time away from work, it
also makes the learning more effective by reducing the gap
between the training course and the application of the learning.
Case Study: Scottish Social Service Council
Moving 20% of training to
mobile learning saved its Social
Services Sector £39,500,000
on transportation and
registration needs [19]
