Webinar: Visual Learning: The Hidden Code of Visual Language

Webinar - Free to eLearning Guild members:
May 18, 2010
10:30AM to 11:30AM Pacific Time

 Connie Malamed
Author of Visual Language For Designers

 Do you get stuck trying to figure out the best graphics to use in a course or training session? Do you waste coveted screen or slide space with ineffective visuals? Although audiences remember more from visuals than from other mediums, few learning professionals are given guidelines for creating graphics that will impact learning.

This session will provide instructional designers, trainers, SMEs, developers and graphic designers with practical and actionable guidelines for invigorating the learning visuals in their courses and products.

If you aren't a member of the eLearning Guild, I would encourage you to check it out.  I consider it one of the best resources - the Thought Leader Webinar Series is just one of the many member benefits.
