1. A lot of eLearning courses use passive information presentation (just a course with a dump of text about a particular subject with a few short exercises in it.)
2. Many eLearning courses look at lot like the stereo-typical PowerPoint slide. They don’t always come with a dashing, stylized or a very user friendly design.

You need to create a design that’s visually inviting as possible.
Seek opportunities where you can include visuals.
eLearning needs to have visual appeal, or it risks getting ignored

You have just a few seconds to try and impress your learner, so you better have an attractive course that’s visually appealing. The visuals of a course will shape the users’ impressions and attitudes when approaching it, and if the course looks cheap, outdated, or unprofessional, learners won’t trust the quality of the content.

If you feel lost when it comes to the visual design of eLearning courses, why not take a thematic approach? Theme-based courses make your content stand out. The concept, color palette, fonts, design elements and images you use contribute to your course theme.

Consider including infographics as part of your eLearning course. They pack a ton of content in a visual and refreshing way. They are definitely more concise than a textual representation can be.
They make data more meaningful and beautifuland, most importantly, they make learning morefun and less boring.

Pictures are nice but moving images are nicer. They can be a great visual way to support your information, and there are several circumstances that lend themselves to this type of visualization:
Need to explain how todo something technical? Avoid a text explanation, and instead consider creating a how-to video
Want learners to hear from multiple perspectives? Include an interview.
Want to demonstrate how a product works?Make it more compelling with video!

eLearning courses that lack or include very few and irrelevant visual elements are extremely uninviting to the eye. At the very least, include some kind of relevant and engaging photo or image on every screen of your course. Please, just pick something that looks high quality and professional

The usual menu is a text-only list or set of topics. While there’s nothing wrong with this approach, you can improve your menu to benefit students by using visuals.

Learners don't want to read a course that's full of dense text, and nothing else to break it up, right?
Add some bullet points, some numbers, some bold headers, and some images to make your content look much more attractive.
