Building Mobile Friendly courses

Apr 11, 2022

So I've recently written a blog on the reasons why companies should be adopting mobile learning, but it struck me that my own experience with Storyline's Responsive Mobile Player has definitely been wanting.

I'd love to start a discussion on some of the best practices people have had, both with Storyline and just in general, about building mobile-friendly courses designed for learners on the move. What's worked well for you?

there was a fix in storyline 360 (3.66) for mobile devices

Fixed: We fixed a couple of issues with player navigation buttons on mobile devices. Buttons were visible when they should've been disabled or hidden, and the Next button was disabled when revisiting a slide.

have you tested your courses with this version?

It is a good idea to test your courses on a phone.  Is it an ideal user experience?  Absolutely not.  Which is why it's a good reason to see what the users experience. 

As mentioned previously some interactions don't work the same way (hover states for instance).  But nothing that was a problem to fix. 

I now test my courses on my iphone when I check how a screen reader would handle my course.
