Abstract

The pandemic has encouraged and accelerated the transformation processes of education. At the same time, it brought to the fore latent problems and questions. One such important issue is the quality of the teaching materials presented and published. The creation of content that is provided electronically has its specifics that determine the ease of perception. Our aspiration should be to provide the learning materials to the students in such a way that they do not have difficulty in understanding - reading, watching or listening. The purpose of this article is to present ways of layout of electronic learning content published as a text resource depending on how it is accessed by students - from a computer or a mobile device. The structuring of the text with headings and sub-headings (Headings), apart from giving greater clarity, is necessary for the automatic generation of content. The content can be made suitable for a printed document as well as a web document, keeping the references in the .pdf file. The left side of the sheet is used to draw attention to the main or more important ideas and concepts. According to the rule of thirds of visual design, the left side of the screen draws attention more strongly than the right side. Tables are used in printed documents to summarize data. Large tables are difficult to read on the screen. Graphs and charts are more suitable for presenting numerical data. The technology of hypertext in the electronic document gives us a unique opportunity to give freedom to the learner to navigate the content through hyperlinks (links). The variety of electronic devices today is large, so platforms must be able to present content equally well from desktop to smartphone. The massive use of mobile devices - smartphones and tablets has forced the use of their learning potential. Educational content must be optimized to fit the smaller screens of mobile devices and their touch-screen technology. With appropriate layout and text formatting, the documents we publish as learning resources can be made more readable, easier for students to navigate, navigate, and select reading items. This will make the documents clearer, more attractive, and the result is greater motivation to learn.
