In this session, I will present a CSS-based approach for providing responsive content. This method can be used with HTML5’s responsive output option to adapt topic content for desktops, tablets, and phones. We will discuss how to use this approach to show/hide, redesign, and reword/replace content based on the device. I will share working examples that attendees can apply to their own projects, and we will explore options for extending this method for complex situations.

Microcontent-based authoring makes content easier to scan, and it increases user satisfaction and success. Microcontent can also be reused and accessed by other systems, including embedded user assistance, context-sensitive help, chatbots, and voice-based search. Google calls these microcontent blocks "snippets," and they are a key, highly visible aspect of Google search results. In this session, Scott will review real-world examples of microcontent and discuss how it is used and created. http://www.clickstart.net

The best practice for responsive design is to design the mobile version first and progressively enhance the content for tablet and desktop screens. In reality, we usually have thousands of pages of documentation that has already been designed for desktop or even print display. So, we can't follow a "mobile first" approach. In this workshop, I present best practices and real-world examples for redesigning tables, images, lists, and other types on content for mobile display. I also share best practices for rewriting content for mobile devices. http://www.clickstart.net

Embedded UA includes any instructional information inside a user interface. For mobile devices, all of the instructional information is usually embedded in the UI. As mobile devices become our predominant access method, embedded UA is becoming even more important, and more content is moving from external help systems to embedded UA. In this session, we will discuss best practices for writing, designing, opening, and customizing embedded UA. We will also discuss how to balance embedded and non-embedded UA content. http://www.clickstart.net
