  I was working with a student intern the other day.  We reviewed his first attempt at a rapid elearning course.  For this review, we focused on the course’s visual design.
  
  Overall, he did a great job, especially for someone just starting out.  However, he made some mistakes that are common to many of the courses I see.  I thought I’d do a quick rundown of what they are and provide some tips on how to prevent them.

  • Good elearning design is as much about visual communication as it  instructional design and learning theory. 
  • they’re not just decorative.
  • use graphics that belong together.
  • There are all sorts of ways to add contrast to your screens.  You can  change the size or shape of elements
  • It has to be the right type of font and the right size.  In most cases, a  san serif font works best for the computer screen.
