Jeffrey Veen
“Day by day, the number of devices,
platforms, and browsers that need to work
with your site grows. Responsive web design
represents a fundamental shift in how we’ll
build websites for the decade to come.”
Poll
What do you know about responsive eLearning?
o Not much; have just heard the term.
o Know what it is but have not had any hands-on
experience.
o Have designed/developed some responsive eLearning.
o Have designed/developed a lot of responsive
eLearning.
What is Responsive?
Poll
How do you think responsive eLearning can be
useful in your organization?
 To reach out to mobile and/or shop floor workers (e.g.
sales staff, field technicians, production staff, etc)
 To allow employees to access eLearning on their own
devices
 To allow employees to access eLearning outside office
hours including during travel and waiting times
 To make (compliance) training programs more
convenient to complete
What is Responsive eLearning?
eLearning that responds to device size
Poll
Does exactly the same content need to be
delivered on all devices?
o Yes
o No
o Not sure
Does Mobile Need a Full Version
• People are USED to the
standard Interfaces
• Some people access the
Internet only via their phones
• When targeting Desktops &
Tablets (not smartphones)
• Compliance courses
• When focus is on providing
resources
• Mobile Context is important
• Need a lightweight solution.
• Software simulations
Benefits of Responsive eLearning
• Enhanced reach – higher uptake
• Single source
• Cost effectiveness
• Easy Maintenance
• Content Consistency
• Track across devices
• Allow sequencing

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Make the countries blue…not purple
  • #5 Add elearningAge awards
  • #9 Get some research on this to quote after the poll questions
  • #12 In his book Tapworthy: Designing Great iPhone Apps, Josh Clark defines the three different mindsets of the mobile user: “I am microtasking,” “I am local,” and “I am bored” (see References).
  • #16 Get some research on this to quote after the poll questions
  • #18 Get some research on this to quote after the poll questions
  • #19 Learning and performance support interventions delivered from one source on multiple devices without any content loss.Content responds to or moulds itself to the devices' dimensions and rearranges itself accordingly.Content changes its form or gets layered where required for better user experience.
  • #24 FRED delivers the same – or similar – content across different devices, ensuring a consistent and complete user experience.FRED is a reusable framework with an existing library of 20+ templates, allowing for efficiency during development. At the same time, FRED is flexible enough to be customized to meet your specific requirements. And FRED is reliable, having been thoroughly tested across multiple devices.Once a single base version has been developed,content management is easier and much more effective as updates or additions need only be made once to reflect across all devices.All these combine to make FRED a cost-effective solution for responsive eLearning development.
