Upside Learning’s entry in the Electronic Media & Video category had been in the Web Videos sub-category, while that for Brochures, Manuals & Reports was in the Books and eBooks sub-category. For the former, Upside Learning had submitted a one and half minute introductory video of its revolutionary platform for mobile learning – Upside2Go. The latter consisted of a 44-page eBook titled "LMS for Training Companies – Then & Now" giving a comprehensive overview of the LMS from the perspective of training companies.
The Upside2Go video, called the "Revolutionary Mobile Learning Solution - Discover Upside2Go" video was developed to act as a curtain raiser for Upside Learning’s mobile learning solution – Upside2Go. The video provides a brief introduction to Upside2Go, highlighting the various possibilities and scenarios without spelling out the actual features. This was done to help pique the viewers’ interest.
