EDT4OL/Learning sequence/Visual elements



In the context of this course, visual design refers to the structure, look and feel of the published online page. It involves the interplay between:


 * content - the subject matter being conveyed, and
 * form - how it is presented visually.

This course will not cover graphic or visual design in significant detail. However, it is important to think about (visualise) what your published pages will look like, and to decide how visual elements will convey meaning -- even during the early drafting phases. When outlining individual pages in your learning pathway, your should also reference components of your visual design. For example, describing the images you intend to include on a sub-page, the proposed sub-heading structure for the page concerned, and which pedagogical elements you will signpost in the text, for instance definitions and activity boxes.
