Responsive Learning & Its Benefits

Responsive Learning is a method of teaching where a learner is educated using technology and the lesson is customised according to their responses.

These responsive learning technologies look and function professionally and are simple to use. Hexis Plus’ responsive learning system allows you to avoid endless scrolling. The technical matters have been taken care of so a learner sees the data they need in the perfect size and format.

Pros Of Responsive Learning	Cons Of Traditional Methods
JavaScript and HTML 5 tools allow the content to cross browsers with no loss of visual clarity.	With the traditional format, the user is effectively stuck to their desk to complete coursework.
The course only needs to be written once and the material can be tailored to the user, business and industry.	It needs investment / work on adaptations by an I.T. department and is a more limited in format.
Updates can be carried out/rolled out quickly.	Fixed modules require I.T. resources, writing and new roll out.
A one version multi platform roll out is cost effective.	Various versions of the course would impact on resources, turnover and accessibility.
Usage of mobile devices is overtaking desk based hardware at 61% - Q1 2015.	People expect freedom in this technology driven world. 15% of homes are mobile only.
Roll out of a responsive learning management system is automatically adapted for devices.	The visibility of content is diminished when downsized from PC to mobile.
The course content is instantly available globally and is a cohesive tool.	A classroom environment cannot support instant changes.
The content self modifies, for example, an animation on the desktop version can show as a static graphic on a device.	Traditional learning methods simply can’t do this.
This technology aids blended learning (i.e. face to face and online mixed).	Not everyone flourishes in a classroom environment.
Its functionality and convenience make the trainee more motivated.	Limits to enthusiasm include inconvenience, hanging pages, static data, fixed study locations…
A trainee can start an assignment on their desktop, work on it on their smartphone and complete it on their tablet.	Traditional methods are hampered by time and facility limitations, less flexibility and they distract the trainee from core business operations.
The course material is future proof. As technology evolves the course content will reach more platforms.	The traditional teaching methods will lag behind, even more than they do at present.
