At the upcoming 2009 Learning Technologies Conference in London, OutStart will highlight how learners can use OutStart’s solution set to develop, manage, maintain, deliver and access a wide array of formal and informal learning from popular wireless mobile devices.
Additionally, OutStart customer Royal Navy Lieutenant Commander Paul Pine and OutStart Vice President of Marketing Jeff Whitney will present innovative strategies and best practices for developing, managing, maintaining and delivering learning and knowledge in two, separate presentations.
