Float Mobile Learning has announced a new mobile app called Wayfiler that lets people connect files and websites in relation to a specified location. This way, a user is able to find information when and where they need it. “The possibilities are virtually limitless for how Wayfiler could be used to help you learn about the environment around you,” said Chad Udell, Float’s managing director and author of Learning Everywhere. “People or organizations could tag maps and floor plans to specific buildings, maintenance records and educational videos to a piece of equipment, or relevant tasks and checklists to a certain area of a facility. Any type of file or document you can store in the cloud can be tied to a location for easy lookup.” Wayfiler is available free from the AppStore. It uses the phone’s GPS to pinpoint the user’s location, whereby it connects to any Dropbox account. When a website or file is tagged, other Wayfiler users will be able to see that file when they are nearby. The user can get directions to a file by using the mapping tool, share it with friends, attach it to emails, and more. There are sharing settings that allow the user to select who can access the information. “Wayfiler offers a tremendous opportunity for companies that need to put the right information into the right person’s hands at the right time,” said Udell. “By taking advantage of cloud storage, Web access and the device’s geolocational capabilities, Wayfiler is a powerful tool for contextual learning.” This app is the latest by Float. Others include Tappestry, Sandbox, RabbleBrowser, and Float Mobile Learning Primer. For More Info, Click Here
