Instructional Design Success
Use layouts to convey meaning and create relationships to guide learning
Layout
What is the relationship between these characters? Is there one?
Does proximity and spacing effect the interpretation?
Use patterns and repetition to organize content to give learners visual cues about how the content fits together
Organize content
Web-users are used to quickly scanning for information This information is difficult to process because it all runs together
What does this information mean to you?
Repetitive elements such as the bold headline and underlined section headers help the learner know how information is related
This is easier to process
Chunking the information helps learners sort the information and understand how it fits together
Limit information to necessary images
