Do you want to create more visually engaging eLearning courses, but find yourself unsure where to start? All designers want their courses to look good, but few really understand what that means.
In this hands-on workshop, you will learn about the most common visual design mistakes in eLearning and how to overcome them by applying a practical, step-by-step design process. You will discover how to choose and combine the right fonts, colors, design elements, and slide layouts to define your eLearning project’s visual voice. You’ll also see how to pull those elements together to create custom design themes and course templates for diverse learning topics.
