Answer
There are a few differences between standard PC browser content and content that can be viewed by a mobile device. One difference is the amount of content on a page. You want less content on your page when creating mobile content then what is on a standard course. The other is the skin/template/look and feel of a course intended for a mobile device should be graphically simple. With ReadyGo WCB you can choose many different templates to apply to your content. You can also choose to have the learner view content via a network template, that is a different template depending on the device they are coming from.
