Responsive Design PrincipleThe point of creating responsive sites is to create functional (and hopefully optimal) user experiences for a growing number of web-enabled devices and contexts.

IMPLICATIONS FOR E-LEARNING
Section 2
Flexible Delivery
• Learn on the go• Bring your own device• Location sensitive learning• Placement based learning• Augmented reality• On demand access• Shop-floor access• Social/connected learning
DemandsWhy do we need learning on mobile devices
Content DevelopmentWhat will change for content developers
Good newsCurrent scenario is to optimise existing tools for responsive design:
• A single source solution which is cheaper to create and manage
• Track e-Learning completions or results across device types
• Seamless learning experience from one device to another through bookmarking
Design in browser• Avoid print based design tools• Understand user interactions
Mobile first• Mobile is a user state, not a device• Constraints lead to simplicity• Value content and navigation above visual and technical flair
Fluid Content• Use a grid system• Fixed width on larger devices and fluid width for smaller
Natural user interfaces
• Pinch, swipe, tap, hold replace point, hover, click on smaller devices• Avoid graphical user interfaces
Design GuidelinesGeneral good practice principles for responsive design
Design ProcessAdd responsive design into your existing process
Design layouts based on breakpoints – small, medium, large
Select the right fonts – check how they scale and avoid fixed sizes
Design interactive elements – make sure touch icons are finger sized
