Understanding<br />

Responsive eLearning Design<br />

2.5: What Does a Responsive eLearning Design Look Like?<br />

The easiest way is to look at some examples. These are from sample courses that have been created<br />

<strong>us</strong>ing our in-ho<strong>us</strong>e HTML-based Framework for Responsive eLearning Development (FRED).<br />

Simple Presentation<br />

Desktops: The graphic and or image and text combination is laid out horizontally on desktop<br />

monitors.<br />

Tablets: On tablets, the layout changes to vertical from horizontal. This is to avoid a horizontal<br />

scrollbar from appearing on screen. Vertical scrolling (<strong>with</strong> a swipe action) may be introduced based<br />

on the length of the content.<br />

Smartphones: The functionality and layout<br />

both change to suit the reduced screen size<br />

when the course loads on a smartphone. A<br />

layer of interactivity gets introduced. Single<br />

pieces of content will appear at a time <strong>with</strong> their<br />

relevant images and or graphics. Learners can<br />

view the next piece of content by tapping<br />

internal navigation elements, like an internal<br />

'next' and 'back' or by swiping as you would in<br />

an 'image gallery' interactivity.<br />
