Training That Goes Where Your People Go
Mobile learning — or mLearning — delivers training content through smartphones and tablets, so your workforce can develop skills on the way to a client meeting, between shifts on the shop floor, or from a hotel room in another country.
Unlike eLearning that was designed for desktops and squeezed onto a phone screen, true mobile learning is built mobile-first. Every element — layout, navigation, font size, tap target, video length, and quiz format — is designed from the ground up for small screens and short attention windows.
IKHYA specialises in custom mobile learning development for corporate training teams. We don't retrofit desktop courses — we architect mobile experiences that your learners actually want to use.
Mobile learning meets them where they already are.
Six Mobile Learning Formats, One Seamless Delivery
Every format is built for thumb-navigation, optimised for mobile data loads, and deployed SCORM/xAPI-ready to your LMS of choice.Responsive eLearning Courses
Full-length courses (20–60 min) that reflow perfectly from desktop to tablet to phone. Single source file, all screen sizes — no separate mobile version to maintain.
Microlearning Modules
Bite-size lessons of 3–8 minutes targeting a single skill or concept. Ideal for reinforcement, onboarding checklists, and performance support at the moment of need.
Gamified Mobile Training
Points, badges, leaderboards, branching scenarios, and scenario-based challenges — all touch-optimised. Proven to increase engagement by up to 60% versus static content.
Offline-Ready PWA Courses
Progressive Web App architecture lets learners download modules over Wi-Fi and complete them offline. Progress syncs automatically on reconnection — perfect for field, retail, and travel workforces.
Mobile Video & Podcast Learning
Short-form instructional video, animated explainers, and audio-only podcast episodes for eyes-free learning during commutes, fieldwork, or hands-on tasks.
Push-Notification Learning Journeys
Spaced-repetition learning campaigns delivered via push notifications and SMS — nudging learners back to content at timed intervals to defeat the forgetting curve.
Our Mobile Learning Development Process
A structured, transparent six-step process that takes you from content brief to LMS-ready mobile course — on time, every time.Discovery & Scoping
We audit your existing content, define learning objectives, identify your target devices, and agree on the best mobile format for your training goals and audience.
Instructional Design
Our instructional designers write a detailed storyboard structured for mobile consumption — short scenes, clear objectives, and interaction types mapped to each device layout.
Visual Design & Prototype
We produce mobile UI wireframes and a working prototype for your review — so you can see exactly how the course looks and feels on a phone before full development begins.
Full Development
Courses are built in Articulate Rise, Storyline 360, or custom HTML5 — fully responsive, touch-ready, and tested on iOS, Android, and leading mobile browsers.
QA & Device Testing
Every deliverable is QA-tested on real devices across iOS and Android, checking load speed, offline function, accessibility, and SCORM/xAPI data accuracy.
LMS Deployment & Support
We upload and test your course on your LMS, configure tracking settings, and provide 30 days of post-launch support — plus a revision cycle if content needs updating.

The Mobile Learning Partner That Gets It Right First Time
Most eLearning agencies build for desktop and scale down. We start with mobile — and it shows in every completion rate, engagement metric, and learner review.True Mobile-First Design
We design every pixel for a 375px screen first. Desktop layout comes after. That means your learners get an experience made for their device — not shrunk to fit it.
40+ Languages & RTL Support
From Arabic and Hebrew (right-to-left) to Mandarin, French, and Swahili — we localise every element: text, audio, visuals, and UI direction. Not just translation. Transformation.
Offline Access Built In
Field teams, retail workers, and travellers can't always rely on connectivity. We build offline capability into every mobile course by default — no extra cost, no bolt-on.
LMS-Agnostic, Always
SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI, AICC — we deliver in every standard, tested on every major LMS. Cornerstone, Moodle, Docebo, SAP SuccessFactors, TalentLMS — we've deployed on all of them.
WCAG 2.1 AA Accessibility
Mobile accessibility is often overlooked — we make it standard. Every course is built to WCAG 2.1 AA, with screen-reader support, sufficient colour contrast, and keyboard fallbacks.
xAPI Analytics Integration
Track exactly what learners do on mobile — swipes, video views, quiz attempts, time-on-screen, and offline activity. xAPI sends every data point back to your LRS for deep reporting.
Built on Tools That Deliver
We work with industry-leading authoring tools and output to every LMS standard. If you already have a preferred tool or LMS — we build for it.Authoring Tools

What Clients Say About Our Mobile Courses
Real feedback from L&D teams who switched to mobile-first eLearning and saw the difference in their completion data.Our completion rate went from 41% to 79% within a month of switching to IKHYA's mobile-first design. The courses finally feel right on a phone — and our field teams have stopped complaining about training.
We needed Arabic and English mobile learning for our Gulf operations — offline on the rig. IKHYA delivered both languages, fully RTL, working completely offline. Nothing else I evaluated could do all three.
The microlearning modules IKHYA built for our compliance programme reduced our training time by 35% and improved assessment scores by 22%. Learners engage with them because they're actually built for mobile — not a desktop course squeezed onto a phone.
Mobile Learning: Common Questions Answered
Everything L&D managers, training directors, and procurement teams ask us before starting a mobile learning project.Mobile learning development (mLearning) is the process of designing and building training content specifically optimised for smartphones and tablets. This includes responsive eLearning courses, microlearning modules, offline-capable apps, and mobile-first LMS integrations that allow employees to learn anytime, anywhere — even without an internet connection.
Mobile-first eLearning is designed from the ground up for small screens — with touch controls, swipeable navigation, thumb-friendly buttons, and layouts that prioritise the mobile experience. Mobile-adapted eLearning takes existing desktop content and makes it 'work' on mobile, often resulting in pinched layouts, tiny buttons, and poor usability. IKHYA builds mobile-first by default.
We build mobile learning using Articulate Storyline 360, Articulate Rise, Adobe Captivate, Lectora, and custom HTML5 development. All outputs are SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI (Tin Can), and AICC compatible, ensuring they deploy cleanly on any LMS.
Yes. IKHYA builds offline-ready mobile learning using Progressive Web App (PWA) architecture and native app wrappers. Learners can download modules while connected and complete them without internet. Progress syncs automatically when connectivity is restored — ideal for field workers, remote sites, and travel scenarios.
A standard 30-minute mobile eLearning module typically takes 6–8 weeks from content sign-off to final delivery. Microlearning nuggets (5–10 minutes) can be turned around in 2–3 weeks. Timelines depend on content complexity, review cycles, and translation requirements. We provide a detailed project schedule in every proposal.
Yes. IKHYA supports full localisation for mobile learning across 40+ languages, including right-to-left languages such as Arabic, Urdu, and Hebrew. All text, audio narration, on-screen graphics, and UI elements are adapted — not just translated — to ensure cultural relevance and learner engagement in every market.
IKHYA builds mobile learning for Healthcare, Financial Services, Oil & Gas, Retail, Manufacturing, Government, Technology, and Professional Services. We have deep experience with compliance-heavy sectors and regulated industries, including GMP, OSHA, HSE, MAS, and GDPR training requirements.
Pricing depends on course length, interactivity level, media production, and localisation requirements. A standard mobile eLearning module (30 minutes, Level 2 interactivity) typically starts from £3,500–£6,000. Microlearning nuggets and rapid development options are available at lower price points. Contact us for a free scoped quotation with no obligation.
Yes. IKHYA offers a legacy course conversion service that rebuilds your existing desktop eLearning into a true mobile-first experience — not just a responsive wrapper. We re-storyboard the content for shorter scenes, replace hover interactions with tap equivalents, optimise media for mobile data loads, and retest everything on iOS and Android before redelivery.
Our mobile courses are LMS-agnostic and deploy on any platform that supports SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, xAPI, or AICC. We have successfully deployed on Moodle, TalentLMS, Cornerstone OnDemand, SAP SuccessFactors, Docebo, Absorb LMS, Totara, and many others. If you name your LMS, we will confirm compatibility before development begins.
