Responsive Design

« Back to Glossary Index

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.
