Designing for the Entire Journey, Not for a Single Interaction from Coupons Ground's blog

Often users don’t complete an activity in one sitting or through a single channel. Some of the most common reasons why users change channels include:

Touch Type Read and Spell (TTRS) offer a touch typing course to construct literacy capabilities, particularly for dyslexia. This is a typing course that specifically teaches keyboarding, builds confidence, develops the analyzing and spelling abilities, and motivates to succeed in life.

  • There is an external interruption or change in context. In some situations, users are not able to complete an activity in one go because they are interrupted. Imagine you’re in the middle of purchasing a new car-insurance policy on your desktop computer when it’s time to go pick up your child from school. You might continue the registration process on your mobile device while you wait in the parking lot, taking advantage of the fact that your vehicle identification number and license plate are easily available.
  • The task is better suited for another channel. Users will often change channels because their activity has become too laborious on the current channel and a different channel appears more effective or efficient. Imagine discussing a charge on your mobile phone bill via online chat. If the circumstances are complex and require a lot of explanation, you might choose to call the carrier to continue the discussion over the phone instead of typing a lot of information. Or you may start to watch a live basketball game on your mobile phone on your commute from work, but, once you get home, you finish it on your desktop computer or large television.
  • The activity requires it. Some activities by nature require users to move across various channels to complete them. For example, preparing a meal from an online recipe can require multiple channels. It may begin on the desktop as you select a recipe, then move to the mobile app as you shop the list of ingredients in the store, and finish in the kitchen on a tablet so you can reference the recipe as you cook it.

Understanding why and when users move across channels can help you design efficient and streamlined channel transitions. Aim to string together these various  to create a seamless journey rather than a collection of disjointed interactions.

Definition: Seamlessness is a quality of any crosschannel customer journey where the transitions (or handoffs) from one channel to the next involve zero  or minimal overhead for the users. Basically, if you can pick up where you left off, the user experience will be seamless. But if users have to reestablish their contexts and/or redo work when switching to a new channel, then the experience will feel bumpy.
