2. Colour
lighter fresher friendlier feel to increase
its visual appeal
Appeal to the target audience
Help to shape the users attitudes
More effective communication
Engagement
3. Text
Elderly users and visual impairments
Black or dark colours for text, and white or
soft tones for background.
Use no more than three colours as it can
make the course look busy.
Could be viewing on smaller screens
4. Layout
The placement of the elements on each
page could flow more naturally from one
to the next
Graphics should be oriented in a way that
directs the reader's attention inward and
onward, never away from the content.
Create a more consistent feel and would
create more flexibility to use the content
area
5. Content
Needs to stand out more and given much
more emphasis.
The Use of Space and Colour
Make the content separate from the
navigation
Make Instructions Separate from the text
Break up the text using more bullet points
Using Visuals
6. Visual Content
Visual content drives more engagement
than just text.
Can enhance a course’s quality because
it helps to humanize the concepts being
covered.
Learners view the content as a relatable,
personal experience.
7. Visual Imagery
Representational - to reflect and reinforce
the text
Organisational – using diagrams to create
overview of the content
Decorative – used sparingly to add
aesthetic appeal
Professional and Stylish
8. Interactions
The same interaction is being presented
in different ways.
Keeping the format of this interaction the
same throughout would enable you to use
more variety in interactions.
Consistency helps learners move from
one task to the next, knowing there are
certain aspects of the design that won't
change.
For this presentation I have looked at how I would improve on the suite of existing modules for my learning essentials
This covers :
Purple and yellow is a good effective contrast for learning if used carefully
Can feel dark, heavy which is distracting from the content.
Student expectations are for a more professional look and feel
This will shape the users attitudes towards the content and create a more credible feel
More effective coms wil get the message you r trying to convey a lot faster
Create more engagement and get them coming back for more
Dark purple on grey is not a good colour contrast.
Yellow on purple
Both failed on colour contraster on Webaim
For large amounts of text it is safer to stick with dark coulours on lighter backgrounds
The slug on the left is not consistent throughout sometimes its there or not there and sometimes its grey and sometimes its purple
Example: Keep the title and use a specific heading to denote an activity
Lose the dark slab of colour from the left
The use of space and colour as I v mentioned will help to do this
Example: Currently the boxes are blending in to much
Break up the text using formatting and visuals
Needs to reinforce the message and help users relate to the content.
Most people recognise visuals images before text.
creates and emotional /mood.
“if a picture is worth a thousand words use it”
Example: these two interactivities are the same but look completely different
Example 1: could use an interactive table to display this better
Example 2: could use video and audio to enhance the user experience. Interactive map of the library
Example 1:
Could simulate typing into a database which would make it more intuitive
Example 2:
Citing it right
Section 3 of 4 , what do I need to reference – activity
Needs a recap and also a knowledge check
Needs to be more consistent throughout to focus on the content
I have included a main title sub heading
Lost the large slab from the left and included a watermark
Freeing up the content area
Seperate out the instructions from the text
Added in a visual that reflects the subject
Drawn out the lines to give more emphasis to the content
That concludes my presentation
I welcome any questions
