Security Best Practices
Implement a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution to:
• Ensure devices are PIN/password protected
• Remotely wipe lost/stolen devices
• Control custom app distribution
• Ensure devices are up-to-date with latest operating system

Security Best Practices
Custom App Recommendations
• Be judicious in what sensitive information (if any) is stored
on the local device, as opposed to only accessible while
online.
• Encrypt local content using AES-128 or better (per HIPAA
guidelines)

27. LMS should:
• Provide a responsive and
skinnable UI for mobile devices
• Support all major course
communication protocols: AICC,
SCORM 1.2/2004, xAPI
• Provide a native mobile
application, supporting all your
target platforms, with offline
capabilities
• Provide SSL Access and
best-in-class, rigorously
penetration-tested security

28. Features to look for in a
native mobile application:
• Cross Platform Support
• Content Encryption (AES-128+)
• Enterprise Distribution options
via MDM
• Configurability
• Skinning/Branding
• Custom Content
• Offline Features

34. What does Mobile mean to you?

35. ...while the laptop/tablet convergence might
indicate the need to focus design in that
space, true mobility is still predicated on a
mobile device you can drop into your pocket
or bag, and designing for mobile should
start there, not with the tablet.
- David Wentworth “Right-sizing Mobile Learning” 2014

39. New Content
• New content should be designed to a responsive “mobile first”
approach
• Create short “bite-sized” learning opportunities
• Videos (10 minutes or less)

40. Existing Content
• Create brief assessments, minimal “off device” work
• Use larger fonts (at least 14 point)
• Make buttons and interactions large
• Limit forms and complex fields or interactions
• Ensure audio is not required to consume content

41. What will and won't work
on a phone screen?
What works well…
• Text & image-heavy content
• Short, bite-sized learning
modules
• Videos
What might not be appropriate…
• Computer Software Simulation
• Content truly dependent on
highly intricate diagrams or
ancillary learning materials to
effectively convey a learning
objective.

45. “NetDimensions Learning allows us to
create a robust solution to deliver and
manage learning regardless of the device in
hand.
