8 Mobile Learning Design Considerations

Ergonomics of the Design - When designing for mobile devices, you need to consider how people hold their devices and the impact on content placement.
Content Creation - With m Learning there is often a need to restructure information, change the choice of media, and rework images and graphics to make the content work on smaller screens or suit users learning on the move.
Micro Learning - Users are accessing content on the go and at a fast pace. With growing demands on our time, ensuring that the content is broken down into manageable bite sized chunks of learning encourages better engagement.
Size of content -There is a general expectation from desktop users that content be available within 2 seconds. Mobile users are for the moment slightly more patient however you are competing with other barriers to learning.
Online Safety/Security Considerations - An online security issue deters some organisations from introducing mobile It is important to incorporate security requirements at the design stage, including authentication, sign-in procedures and rules of engagement for employees.
Accommodate differing Learning Styles - To compensate for distractions and encourage engagement and retention of knowledge, consideration should be given to tailoring learning to accommodate different learning styles.
Device Choice - Users may be accessing the same learning content from different devices, on desktop in the workplace and mobile device when out of the office. With adaptive design you can create different templates to suit each device, giving more freedom to customize how content is being viewed.
Test, Test and Test again - As with the design of any new content or medium, you must test and retest. Establishing a beta test group gives you true testing data as well as the potential to create a super user group which can support the company wide implementation of the learning.
