eNetAuthor designing for multiple devices

With mobile learning now in the top 10 of learning methods , training teams have even more to consider in eLearning design.

Multi-platform eLearning can greatly enhance engagement, by giving learners more options in accessing materials. But how can you ensure that your designs work equally well across different devices?

eNetAuthor creates fully responsive eLearning from source, allowing you to develop one version of your eLearning course which works across multiple platforms and devices.

Responsive design responds to the device being used. Content is repositioned and resized in a specific order to best fit the device screen and ensure an optimal learning experience.

All features within eNetAuthor are built to be responsive. Content is housed in a container which holds the core functionality of the course. The container relays information to and from your learning management system, so all functionality works on any device.

To suit your design requirements, eNetAuthor offers a number of layouts, 1 full width cell, 2 columns and 3 columns. The diagram below shows how content is repositioned for different devices. When using the 1 and 2 column grid, objects and text are resized to fit the device screen.

In eNetAuthor you can preview content on a range of devices throughout the design process, allowing you to adapt the design to get the best possible format for multi-platform learning. As you can see below, the option to view content on multiple devices is along the top bar, you can view the final version on a specific device by choosing from the mobile, tablet and desktop options.
