Adapt Learning Community: Responsive Learning Design

Hi,

I’ve put together some copy for the main menu that outlines what responsive learning design is. Be good for people to review and agree it’s appropriate and describes a shared vision. Its available via a link of the home page now.

Within this copy, I’ve outlined the various layouts that we’ve used internally, namely:

Deep scrolling articles (standard scrolling)
Deep scrolling article with block slider
Block slider article (lateral scrolling)
Triggered components (either deep or standard)

We have used deep scrolling and block slider on all of the 25 odd Adapt projects we’ve created to date so I’d suggest this came as standard in the first release. That said, triggered components is also becoming popular as it provides an opportunity to create graphically rich pages that can still contain all of the standard Adapt functionality and I’d suggest that this functionality came packaged up with core from the beginning.

As always, all comments and recommendations for improvements are welcome.

Paul

Hi Paul

I've reviewed your copy - it's clear and comprehensive and provides a good level of detail for learning designers to get started with. I don't know if it would be appropriate but I suggest it might be helpful if in time there could be some examples with 'real' content in them to see the new stuff e.g. block sliding and triggered components etc in action. It would enable people to start to think about how they can design learning content that makes full use of this type of functionality.

Hi Deborah,

Thanks for reviewing the copy - very much appreciated!

I agree on having examples. We talked about this in our workshop yesterday, too. We decided to create a recording of our basic example and set up a YouTube channel. That way we can add and audio walk through and won't be pushing 'old code' via the browser.

I'm keen to get this up as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Sven

Hi,

Yes, thanks for the review Deborah.

Sven, I assume that the reason a live project isn’t being released to demo the functionality is due to it being built in the old code base. In that case, I agree that in the absence of an actual course then a video on YouTube looks to be the best solution. We've got an example of a short page I scripted back as proof of concept which discuss responsive e-learning design. This is art directed and has content images so this is probably the best example to use. Was this what was shown in the workshop last week Sven? (a few blocks are screen grabbed below) If you wish Deborah, I could provide you with a zip of the page so that you can have a look and provide feedback.

I think if we do use this page then we should add a block slider and a triggered component element so that it ties in with the copy, but this could be done quickly. I also think it should have an element of narration which explains what is being shown on the screen at any one time (similar to the Logitech demo on the Kineo YouTube channel where you can hear my dulcet tones providing a brief walk through of the design).

Let me know what you guys think. If it works for everyone I’ll get it organised.
