Quality Matters in E-Learning - 28 (Video Webinars on Visual Design in E-learning)

The ADL (Advanced Distributed Learning, http://www.adlnet.gov) have presented a series of video webinars.

These webinars are on the various aspects of Visual Design in e-Learning.

You can watch the video webinars by going to the following weblinks:

Part 1: The Principles and Effects of Good Design,

Part 2: Designing for Reusability

Part 3: Designing for Usability

Part 4: Color

Part 5: Screen Layout

Part 6: Design Elements

Part 8: References and Resources

Whilst on the topic of resources, you can also download the e-book on "e-Learning Concepts and Techniques". This is a collaborative e-book project by Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania's Department of Instructional Technology students and guest authors.

I found this e-book to be very readable. The contents are:

Chapter 1 – What is E-Learning?
Chapter 2 - Instructional Design Models for E-Learning
Chapter 3 – E-Learners
Chapter 4 – E-Learning Tools
Chapter 5 – Instructional Strategies for E-Learning
Chapter 6 - Information Ownership
Chapter 7 – Development
Chapter 8 - Delivering E-Learning
Chapter 9 – E-Learning Evaluation
Chapter 10 – Managing the Data
Chapter 11 – Web Standards

I hope you all will find this e-book on e-learning Concepts and Techniques to be useful.
