Responsive design refers to your learning system’s ability to adjust its interface based on the device that’s being used.
This includes:
- Enlarging or shrinking the font for text
- Changing the layout to accommodate the pixel width and height of the device
- Toggling between portrait or landscape orientation
Responsive design may be featured within your course management system (like Thinkific), or it can be added to your website if you’re running a course plugin, like LearnDash.
Responsive design makes it easier and more comfortable to engage with learning content that is being viewed on a mobile device, making mobile learning more efficient.
