We have developed a simple template to enable you to develop your first mobile GLO quickly. The template can be downloaded from http://www.glomaker.org/guides/mobile_GLO_resources.zip This is simply a GLO formatted for mobile delivery, with gaps for you to add your own material.

A Camtasia guide shows the process of creating a mobile GLO based on the template. See: http://www.glomaker.org/guides/moglo_tutorial.mp4
Authoring in GLO Maker works as normal, but only a sub-set of components is supported: text, pictures, video and hyperlinks. We intend to release a full Player later in the year which will support the full range of components

Package the new GLO and download it to you mobile phone.
For a Camtasia movie showing how this is done see: http://www.glomaker.org/guides/GLOMobUpload.mp4

In the movie the new GLO is saved directly to the mobile phone. It can also be saved to the desktop and downloaded separately to the mobile device. Access your phone by cable from the computer (plenty of guides on YouTube if needed). You will see a directory called 'GLO_Maker', and within this a sub-directory called 'GLOs'. Save your new GLO package to the GLOs folder.

You should see your new GLO added to the GLOPlayer menu. Click on to play.
