It’s hard enough to get learners to engage with the content of your eLearning course. The issue is compounded even further when learners can’t figure out how to use the course or it’s too difficult to use on a mobile device. All too often, new eLearning designers put their focus solely into designing the learning content, while at the same time ignoring the interface it’s encapsulated in. This leads to confusion on the part of the learner and disrupts the learning process.

In this session you will explore three simple rules for designing an eLearning user interface that promotes engagement, interaction, and learning on mobile devices. Using real-life examples, you will learn how simple interface changes can remove visual distraction and redundancy. You will examine common pitfalls of mobile eLearning design. You will leave this session able to improve your eLearning courses by removing user interface distraction and promoting intuitive action by the learner.
