The announcement comes as Anthology continues to rapidly advance development of its flagship learning management system, tripling development resources and delivering a record number of new features in July.

“Today we know that learning is more than a classroom or a laptop,” said Jim Chalex, vice president of product management, teaching and learning at Anthology. “We strive to provide a personalized experience for every learner and this new mobile app is just another way we are empowering students to learn in a way that suits their needs.”

The app was developed based on customer feedback and combines what were previously separate apps for students and instructors into one version. Learn Ultra was originally designed with mobile responsiveness as its cornerstone, which sets it apart from other learning management solutions that are built into mobile apps. The new mobile experience supports all Learn implementations, but as Anthology speeds up features developed for Learn Ultra, institutions deploying Learn Ultra will benefit from additional enhancements and upgrades. The result is an app that allows learners and instructors to seamlessly move their learning experience from desktop to mobile and back, while simplifying the user experience.

Learn Ultra’s self-expression tools, like the ability for learners to record the pronunciation of their name, are at the heart of the product and essential to fostering a supportive environment. This month, Anthology will continue to expand its self-expression feature by allowing learners to choose their first name or an additional name and select how it will display in class.
