Description: |
In this workshop, you will use visual design principles to make your syllabus more attractive, efficient and effective. Handouts are commonly limited to black text on a white background. Using color and images can add meaning and make materials more effective. Crowded pages are hard to digest; a little extra space can make it easier to follow. Bring your syllabus and give it a makeover! |
Learning Goal: |
Improve student learning by updating a syllabus so that it follows principles of visual design and incorporates images, color, and other design elements. |
