Mrs. Jones's Kindergarten Avenue4Learning - Ideas for Teaching Students in THEIR World… M J Bromley's Blog | www.bromleyeducation.co.uk Responsive learning design This website is designed to be responsive. If you resize the browser as thin as it can go, you’ll see how the content immediately adapts itself to fit within the new parameters. This means you can view this website just as easily through a desktop computer, a tablet or a smart-phone regardless of make, size, browser or operating system. It just works. This is called responsive web design. I’ve often advocated a state of affairs in which the use of ICT is pervasive yet invisible, which is to say: you should be able rely on ICT to just work and be available at your beck and call, just like electricity is. This is principally due to the multitude of incompatible systems and formats present in the teaching and learning ecosystem. This model would have tremendous implications for schools’ deployment of hardware. So, next time somebody is trying to sell you a piece of software or hardware that only works under certain circumstances, remember these three words: responsive learning design.
