3 Determining
A Responsive eLearning Design Strategy
3.3: Challenges and Solutions
3.3.3: Testing
Testing — or rather checking to see how the eLearning looks and works - comes into play from a
programmer's viewpoint too — both during development itself and while fixing any issues logged
during the testing stage.
With responsive eLearning, the most common causes for issues could be:
• The code is not HTML5 compliant.
• The code is not compliant with a specific browser.
• The code is neither HTML5 nor specific-browser compliant.
A programmer must check the code and logic to identify the correct cause and make the required fixes;
and as browsers and the HTML5 standard continue to evolve, the process of identifying the causes of
issues will also continue to evolve.
While checking, a programmer needs to load the page on every device and follow the same steps every
time they make changes to the code. Programmers too can benefit to a certain extent from the use of
tools and simulators; however, for them as well, there's no escaping checking on physical devices.
