keeping the design in mind
DESCRIPTION
We know the visuals have the potential to make or break an eLearning event, but how do you know you’ve got the right ones? This course will present key principles of graphic and information design that will shift your visuals from blah to bam. While the principles apply to designing visuals across education contexts, examples will be drawn from eLearning courses with an emphasis on screen design considerations.TRANSCRIPT

Learning: How it works (digest version)
Visuals help us think
