Publisher's Synopsis
Learn to Create Effective Graphics for Instructional Presentations
Graphics for Learning outlines the information you need to create effective graphics for instructional materials–including multimedia, texts, classroom aids, and slides used for briefings. The book and accompanying CD–ROM are filled with illustrative examples and contain guidelines that are based on the most current scientific research. This important resource helps you–no matter what your level of graphic expertise–tie graphics to your lesson topics by offering specific suggestions for creating illustrations for various types of content, including facts, concepts, processes, procedures, and principles. In addition, the authors discuss technical and environmental issues (such as bandwidth or screen size) that will influence how you can apply the guidelines to your training projects.
Praise for Graphics for Learning
"For years I’ve been looking for a book that links cognitive research on learning to graphics and instructional design. Here it is! Ruth Clark and Chopeta Lyons not only explain how to make graphics work–they’ve created a very interesting read, full of useful guidelines and examples."
–Lynn Kearny, CPT, instructional designer and graphic communicator, Graphic Tools for Thinking and Learning
"Finally! A book that integrates visual design into the larger context of instructional design and development."
