Study Notes
Designing Conventional Instructional Materials
- Unity: Each visual aid should focus on a single idea and have a clear headline.
- Simplicity: Keep ideas and relationships simple. Avoid overcrowding visuals with excessive words, numbers, or graphics. Aim for audience comprehension within 10-15 seconds.
- Legibility: Employ large, easily readable font sizes for all audience members.
- Consistency: Maintain a consistent style for both font type and art.
- Clarity: Avoid excessively small fonts and all-caps text.
- Quality: Ensure neatness, professionalism, and thorough proofreading.
Developing Instructional Materials
- Reusing existing materials is a recommended first step before creating new ones
- Tools can be used to plan and execute the creation of new materials
- Pre-production activities are essential before starting the development of materials
- Storyboarding is critical for planning the visual and structural flow of materials
- Adding contextual elements like collaboration, role-playing, and case studies to the content enhances learning engagement and effectiveness
