Responsive design in Storyline 360
Hi, just my penny worth here. It depends on the mobile device referred to. Tablets and laptops should be able to view correctly the courses in landscape mode and so this should be an instruction and recommendation at the beginning of the course. It is not generally accepted for anyone to attempt an Elearning module on a smart phone, as the screen is too small. Best practice for smart phones is to use it to view videos in landscape mode and to manage your account in the LMS using the phone. To take a course then use a PC, Laptop or Tablet. Even Rise is a push for Smart Phone screens which is a Responsive and adaptive option. Even good Elearning modules are a challenge on Smart Phones unless the screens are basically stripped down to very basic text an image, but from my experience our users have never had a great experience attempting a course via a Smart Phone.
Hi, Darren, thanks for your input. I agree I wouldn't recommend completing a course on a smartphone. However, when I published my course I sent out a feedback questionnaire and I learned that almost 70% of my students used a mobile phone to do the course even though I recommended a desktop or laptop. That is why I am concerned about this responsive issue. I am a freelance teacher and the license fee is a lot, a lot for my pocket. That is why I need to research well before I make a huge step.
