There is a lot of talk in the media about applications that run on a SmartPhones and Tablets.
Many of these applications are games or productivity tools like scheduling or notification software.
These applications run natively on the SmartPhone or Tablet - not on top of their browser.
The Apps need to be downloaded and installed on the SmartPhone or Tablet.
Many organizations have web courses.
Web courses run on top of a browser.
Learners can access a course via an organization's intranet or web site. They don't need to go to a third party site to download and install anything.
Most eLearning courses work well on a computer but work poorly on a SmartPhone.
Very few tests work at all on a SmartPhone.
Most LMS's don't work with a SmartPhone or tablet (more on that later).
