3 Determining<br />

A Responsive eLearning Design Strategy<br />

3.3: Challenges and Solutions<br />

3.3.3: Testing<br />

Target areas for touch interactions - The smaller the device, the harder it can be to touch a<br />

precise spot. While testing, check that touch targets are large and wide apart enough to be<br />

comfortably <strong>us</strong>ed.<br />

Navigation controls - While there may be space on larger devices to display all navigation<br />

controls upfront, it is recommended that they be logically grouped and layered on smaller devices.<br />

When testing, check the location of the controls and how well they have been grouped and layered<br />

in terms of frequency of <strong>us</strong>e.<br />

Visual cues for new or specific gestures on touch devices - If the eLearning course includes<br />

interactivities or navigation that require specific gestures, check whether there are clear and explicit<br />

visual cues right at the beginning and or the first time such gestures are required.<br />

User instructions - If device-specific instructions are being <strong>us</strong>ed (e.g. click/tap), then make sure<br />

the right instructions are displayed on the different types of test devices. If task-based instructions<br />

are being <strong>us</strong>ed (e.g. explore, find out, go through), then check to see whether they provide the<br />

required clarity in terms of what the learner is expected to do.
