Users can share this content in multiple ways – including through mobile content portals, email links, learning management systems (LMSes) and Brainshark’s free iOS and Android apps – and track learning participation, completion and content effectiveness.

It’s easy for learners to access and interact with Brainshark content too, regardless of the smartphone or tablet model they’re using. Behind the scenes, Brainshark automatically detects the type of mobile device accessing content and serves up the optimal file format.
