If I asked you what makes good eLearning, how would you answer? Would you say instructional design? I’m sure you would—that’s what everyone says! But, think for a minute about all the other components that go into creating an eLearning course. It’s not just instructional design— it’s graphic design, user interface design, and visual communications!
In this post, I’ll share my thoughts on what makes good eLearning.
Graphic DesignHere’s some truth for you: humans are visual creatures! We “eat” with our eyes first, we fall in love with our eyes first, and we learn with our eyes first. It’s because of this that graphic design is so important when designing good eLearning!
When I first started in eLearning, I put all my efforts into instructional design. Although I wanted my courses to look better, I really only worried about graphic design if I had extra time at the end of a project.
