Exploring LogiAssist - The Mobile Learning and Assistance Platform for Truck Drivers

Within the last few years mobile learning has become very popular. Many projects and case studies explore its usefulness in the educational sector, i.e. at schools and universities. Few, however, deal with work place learning. LogiAssist is an educational assistance and learning platform for truck drivers. This paper first explores how eager truck drivers are to engage in online learning and the usage of an assistance system. This is juxtaposed with first results of the actual usage of LogiAssist. In a second step, we explore how the system was used and how the usage can be interpreted from a learning analytics point of view.
