The benefits of converting legacy Flash courses to HTML5 are indisputable: not only are HTML5 courses compatible with mobile technology, but they also offer better security and performance, are easier to update, and can integrate with other services (such as Vimeo and social media).
In 2009, Steve Jobs famously declared Flash to be buggy and resource hungry and the whole world moved to HTML5.

However, HTML5 has cons along with its much talked about pros. As learning experts, we can use even the cons of HTML5 to benefit e-learning.
However, these savings come at an initial cost – the cost of investing in an eLearning development tool , which is used to develop and implement these online courses; and train staff in course creation and administration.

These conversion solutions have been divided based on the tools in which the original eLearning was created. Flash Course.
It literally revolutionised the ‘hand held’ mobile, tablet market across the world. For most organisations, adopting mobile learning raises the BIG question of “What do we do with our existing content (probably developed in Flash which doesn’t run on the iPad)? So, how can you mEnable your eLearning for iPads?
