Responsive design makes use of flexible layouts, flexible
images and flexible style sheets.
The goal of responsive design is to build web pages that
detect the visitorâs screen size and orientation and
change the layout accordingly.

5 Wâs can helpâŚ
14. www.aurionlearning.comE-LEARNING | TRAINING AND SUPPORT | PLATFORMS
1. Know the devices you are designing for
2. Design for the smallest device...mobile first
3. Keep content & navigation simple & quick
⢠Nuggets of content, micro lessons (5 mins)
⢠Blocks of content, animations, infographics
⢠Use simple, direct language (distraction factor)
⢠Crisp images, bulleted lists
⢠6 items in menu
⢠3 items in header
4. Design for non linear access - embrace the scroll bar
5. Segment your learning content â core and extended
19. www.aurionlearning.comE-LEARNING | TRAINING AND SUPPORT | PLATFORMS
1. Drop large images that arenât necessary â screen fillers
2. Select suitable interaction types
⢠Accordions for further information
⢠Tabs, Click reveals, modal windows
⢠Dropdown list
⢠Avoid drag and drop
⢠Refine instructions to reflect multi
device access
3. Use Big Buttons with padding around
4. Minimise file sizes to reduce download size: images & video
5. Plan out your content: use colour & graphics to draw the eye
down the page (image save as double size under 1Mb so still good
resolution when resized)
20. www.aurionlearning.comE-LEARNING | TRAINING AND SUPPORT | PLATFORMS
1. Quick to build mLearning/responsive
content without coding
2. Select an authoring tool thatâs right for
you e.g. Storyline, Captivate, Evolve,
Gomo, Elucidat, Adapt framework
3. Different approaches - scalable vs fully
responsive
4. Look for variety in screen layouts /
templates - some so limited - no need to
storyboard
5. Test outside the toolâs preview
functionality

1. Use a CSS framework â we use the Bootstrap framework â code you
can reuse (bootstrap.com)
⢠inbuilt components eg tabs, accordions, buttons, list items, check
boxes â widely supported
2. Use a hierarchy of CSS on page load
⢠Bootstrap styles
⢠Main (custom styles),
⢠Responsive
3. Substituting graphical icons for textA-based icons
(font awesome) and style using CSS
4. Audio - by default â doesnât play to minimise data usage
⢠Include a play button on page or open in modal window (stops
when close the modal window or doesnât continue as you scroll).
5. Video â host in Vimeo or YouTube (compression, CC)
Pure HTML 5
23. www.aurionlearning.comE-LEARNING | TRAINING AND SUPPORT | PLATFORMS
1. Use Inspector Tool browser plugin
⢠Chrome â Inspector Tool & window resizer
⢠Firefox â Firebug
⢠Safari â Inspector tool
2. Use Browserstack
3. Use Adobe xd or Marvelapp.com

as needed
5. Ensure works as planned in LMS
(tracking, new page, not a container)
