Robust Instructional Design for Mobile Learning
1. Define the Learning Need
• Is it new learning content?
• Is the purpose reinforcement of learned content?
• Is there a need to provide a quick refresher on the go?

Key Aspects
• Design the content for point-of-use.

2. Design Bite-sized Learning Components
Key Aspects
• Know the kind of templates that support the chosen authoring tool.
• Avoid interactions like drag n drop that aren’t best suited for small screens of mobile devices.
• Avoid designing heavy graphics, videos, and animations.
• Balance push versus pull learning components to give the learner more control and choice.

3. Adapt Your Design for a Consistent Learning Experience Across Devices
Key Aspects
• Each nugget of learning needs to be short, relevant and precise.
• Focused on one learning objective, each existing as a standalone component.
• Instructionally, this requires a design approach same as used in the Learning Object model.

4. Cater to Short Attention Span and limitations of ‘Learning on the go’
Key Aspects
• Use crisp graphic, statistics and/or a question to work as an attention grabber.
• Use appropriate terminology such as ‘tap’ and ‘swipes’ instead of ‘clicks’.
• Write short and precise sentences instead of paragraphs of text.
• Use visual images, infographics, and animations, where possible, to convey message.
• Provide links wherever more depth of content is needed.
