Most eLearning courses provide a sidebar with access to chapters.
- SmartPhones and some tablets do not have enough screen real estate to provide horizontal room for both navigation and content.
- If you have less then two or three chapters in a course you can provide navigation as a bar along the bottom of a screen.
- If you have more then two or three chapters you should consider integrating the navigation with the entry screen and using home or map for global navigation.
- Page numbering is very important with mobile apps. Learners do not like to blindly take a course. They like to know where they are in a course.
