Recently, SumTotal Systems, Inc., a global provider of learning, performance and talent management solutions, announced that the upcoming release of its industry-leading ToolBook Instructor will include the ability to rapidly create learning and interactive content for Apple’s iPhone. Using new ToolBook SmartStyles—layouts optimized for the iPhone and new support for the Safari web browser—organizations will have the ability to create rich, interactive content, enabling a Web 2.0 experience for mobile users that was not available before.

The iPhone will be the first of other devices, such as Windows Mobile phones, to take advantage of this solution. Josh Bersin, president of SumTotal, states, “One of the truly miraculous things about the iPhone is how many Web pages work—and work well— without any thought to redesigning them for a small screen. It is the first small, portable, won’t-leave-home-without-it device where Web sites not designed with a small screen in mind just work.”

“There is a strong trend toward development of rapid, informal content which employees can access at any time,” says Bersin. “More than one billion devices are now in operation. SumTotal’s solution enables organizations to easily deliver online learning to employees through one of their most popular devices—their mobile phone.”

With a microsite dedicated to mobile learning, SumTotal is providing examples of mobile learning content for the iPhone, a whitepaper on best practices for creating mobile learning, demos, and the ability to sign up for the free ToolBook Instructor 9.5 beta program at http://www.sumtotalsystems.com/mobile.
