Have you ever attended a presentation with slides that had too many words, too many bullets, and just didn't look very good? In this session, I'm going to help you improve the way you design visuals for learning. You don't have to be a graphic designer. If you learn some basic principles, you can improve how you design visuals, which may help your students learn more.
2 important things to remember: #1 - Design Matters #2 - You don't have to be an artist!

Background: I developed this presentation to help educators understand that effective visual design is an essential part of effective teaching. I've delivered this session at conferences and professional development events, sharing practical design principles grounded in how people learn. My goal is to help educators create instructional materials that reduce cognitive load, improve understanding, and engage learners by applying a handful of simple, research-based design principles. |
