Everyone needs inspiration for their elearning designs.
The best way to find that inspiration is to see what other developers are doing, and learning how they do it. Tim Slade is one of the best and he has the awards to prove it.
Tim’s unique practice of combining content design with visual design sets him apart from most instructional designers who separate each design process. We talked about this approach and his continued focus on accessibility in the visual design of his eLearning projects.
In this episode we talked about how to use visual communications to create engaging learning experiences.
And we explored how to use visual communication techniques to visualize your learning content and help your learners see what you're saying.
Best of all, this episode had tips anyone can use, regardless of your current art or graphic design skills.
