Learning Design: Design Mapping Techniques
Design Mapping Techniques for Better Rapid eLearning Courses
Notes from #CETS11 - Chicago eLearning and Technology Showcase
Pictures and fonts are your "voice" in eLearning, and they set the tone and style of the learning experience. Design mapping is a great way to pre-design the visual layout of your eLearning. Elements of the design map include: Colors, Typography, People, Culture, Analogies, Metephors, Industry, and even Trade Magazines.
The above image, a design map template, and notes about design mapping from David Anderson himself can be found here: Using the Mind Map Template
