Regardless of the device ― smartphone, desktop, tablet ―today’s networked learners deserve an exceptional user experience. Based on his first-hand experience of creating multi-device course companions for both his university (SFU) and continuing studies (UBC) courses, Paul will guide you through his key design considerations. During the session he will also provide an “under-the-hood” look at his most recent effort, a multi-device Moodle 2.6.1 implementation for his course on designing multi-device learning experiences at UBC.
