2. Multi device world
• Most of us now carry significant processing power
and use multiple types of devices every day.
• We expect to access services on the go.
• Growing acceptance of BYOD (bring your own
device)
• With new device types come new access patterns
• Scrolling is no longer an issue
• Different interactions and device capabilities
challenge us to rethink how we design e-learning

3. How Adapt fits
• Adapt is a framework developed and donated by
City & Guilds Kineo
• Uses responsive design -> enables a single version
of the course
• Developed in HTML5
• Proven on many client projects
• Your opinion: What is more relevant to you?
• single version (responsive design)
• embedding specific device capabilities

4. Adapt in action…

5. What is responsive elearning?
Single version of your
course delivered to
multiple devices
Built in everyday web
technology (HTML,
JavaScript, CSS)
Many other benefits

6. Just because you can,
doesn’t mean you
should
One course that works
on multiple devices is a
significant development
Making the entire course
available on mobile isn’t
often the best approach
Less is often more

7. Put scrolling at the
heart of your design
Your learners are already
doing it
Device proof your
learning
Meaningful navigation
Everything above the
fold
More flexibility

8. Think about the big
picture first
Think about how the
layout and the visual
treatment of the entire
page can be used to
support the content
Wireframe it
…and then share it

9. Prototype, test and
share
Talk to the Front End
Developers
Early proof of concept
and full QA on all target
devices
Engage your learners
Share and seek feedback

10. Content is King!
Don’t throw the baby
out with the bath water
Consider the overall user
experience
Engage your learners
Meaningful interactions
