Abstract
We know that 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. You’ll leave with a guide you can apply when approaching your next visual presentation project.
