You can read the article only because it follows a responsive design. When you create an online training course, you need to adopt the same design as well. Today, adopting a responsive design for web pages has become a necessity considering the different types of mobile devices dominating the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So_What_Is_Responsive_Web_Design\"><\/span><strong>So, What Is Responsive Web Design?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Responsive web design is an approach that makes web pages display perfectly on any device, window or screen size. The same design has found its way into the e-learning space gradually.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pages of an e-learning course are not dissimilar to regular web pages. When you access the same training course online using either a desktop or a mobile phone, you expect the pages to display correctly irrespective of the screen size. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is possible only when you create responsive e-learning courses. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today\u2019s generation mostly prefers using more than one device to complete their training over time. They look out for a more convenient method to read through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofstraining.com\/blog\/training-materials\/\">training materials<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkwithgoogle.com\/_qs\/documents\/681\/the-new-multi-screen-world-study_research-studies.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> made by Google way back in the year 2012, revealed that:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">98% of the users keep moving between devices on any given day.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">90% of the users access multiple screens sequentially to accomplish a task over time.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likewise, when it comes to taking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofstraining.com\/solutions\/corporate-training-software\/\">corporate training<\/a>, learners prefer reading through the courses during their spare hours or while traveling. Rarely, they would opt for traditional methods of training if given a choice. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This radical change observed in the behavior of the corporates has necessitated the fast adoption of responsive design for e-learning courses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the tendency of the learners to shift from one device to another can pose a challenge to you or anyone for that matter. You can either:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create multiple versions of the same online course for numerous devices, or,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofstraining.com\/create-a-course\/\">Create a course<\/a> responsive to different electronic devices.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first option is neither feasible nor economical. As it can get quite challenging to create separate versions of the same course for different devices- desktops, laptops or smartphones, so creating a responsive e-learning material is the answer for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<pre><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofstraining.com\/blog\/best-elearning-authoring-tools\/\">15 Best eLearning Authoring Tools<\/a><\/strong><\/pre>\n<p><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;How to Create an Online Course in 5 Min | Easy Online Course Builder\u200e&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:15041,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;9&quot;:0,&quot;10&quot;:2,&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;14&quot;:[null,2,0],&quot;15&quot;:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;16&quot;:11}\"><strong>Watch this video to know<\/strong> <strong>What is eLearning and How Can It Help You?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r9ebNrKiYbM\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your employees can enjoy the following benefits if your training course adopts such a responsive design.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Anytime_Anywhere_Learning\"><\/span><b>1. Anytime, Anywhere Learning<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flexibility in learning is strongly preferred by young corporates today. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofstraining.com\/courses\/\">Web-based training courses<\/a> offer the same flexibility, allowing users to read content anytime and from anywhere. Responsiveness to different screen sizes can facilitate anytime and anywhere learning. It will become easier for learners to complete part of their training on a laptop during work hours and then switch to a smartphone for the remaining portion when traveling. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_User-Friendly_Interface\"><\/span><b>2. User-Friendly Interface<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irrespective of the screen size in use, it is important for any learner to easily navigate through the courses without facing too many hurdles. They can easily swipe, slide, zoom-in or zoom-out the screen when reading through the texts. Only a user-friendly and responsive design can allow easy and effortless navigation when accessing the course using any device.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Curtails_High_Training_Budget\"><\/span><b>3. Curtails High Training Budget<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, the market offers a feasible solution to each problem. Companies like ProProfs offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofstraining.com\/\">Training Maker Software<\/a> to help companies develop engaging web-based courses within the budget. People use such training maker software to develop responsive e-learning courses in no time. You do not have to develop a training course separately for a desktop, laptop, and or a smartphone. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofstraining.com\/blog\/best-online-training-software\/\">training software<\/a> takes care of this problem. The responsive design followed in the courses helps employees access them from any mobile device. So, you can save both your time and money by developing a single training program which supports multiple screen sizes. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Increased_Audience_Outreach\"><\/span><b>4. Increased Audience Outreach<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, companies prefer using cutting-edge technology in every process. The young millennials dominating the corporate world presently are more tech-savvy than their predecessors. Hence, companies need to evolve with the changing market situation to get better output from the talented workforce. Even corporate training courses need to evolve with time. The employees look out for a multi-device learning which a responsive e-learning course can take care of. You can, also, train each and every member of your organization easily irrespective of the device they use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch: How to Share Your Courses With Learners<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HLlXDCLQMeM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Ready_for_the_Future\"><\/span><b>5. Ready for the Future<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best part of creating a responsive e-learning course is that the same training course is future-proof. \u00a0It is highly unlikely that technology will stop evolving anytime soon. Probably, more and more devices with varying screen sizes will be lining up, waiting to make their grand entry into the market. In the absence of responsive design, it will become a cumbersome task for the developers to keep developing the same course responsive to every trending screen size. Instead of searching for a cure then, it is always feasible to adopt preventive measures aforehand. Then, your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofstraining.com\/blog\/web-based-training\/\">web-based training<\/a> course will always be ready for the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Do You Think Responsive E-Learning Course Is Worth Your Time?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, learners are more empowered to choose the devices of their liking to complete a training course. A responsive e-learning course offers that freedom and flexibility to the learners. However, designing such type of courses consumes time and requires multiple testing. So, it is a one-time investment which is likely to fetch better results.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What type of device are you using while reading this article: a desktop, laptop or maybe your smartphone?
