Designing A Mobile-First Online Course: Increasing Engagement To Maximize Success

Description  Challenge - Designing courses for mobile devices Lack of understanding and perspective in design Common mistakes instructors make when designing content online Difficulty getting to the point in language Stale practices from the face to face classroom being translated to the mobile learning environment Key Takeaway Why design content with only the desktop in mind when students access our material on their mobile devices? Explore techniques for designing online learning through the mobile lens.  Overview If you are like me, you are passionate about your subject and spend hours designing engaging content using your desktop. But, let's face it, when students access our desktop content on their mobile devices, something is lost in translation. Not many have the patience to scroll multiple times and suffer through "pinching it out". This frustrating user experience can turn even the most motivated learner away from our course work. This webinar will show you how to tweak existing content and design new content with mobile devices in mind. We will address the scroll factor, layout, accessibility, and manageable pieces of content. Learn simple techniques and a framework to help you bump up your content for access on mobile devices without losing the beauty of your desktop creations.
