Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is a really basic list and really only applies if you're designing templates for web pages, slide presentations or PDFs (if you're manually encoding any of this you're doing it wrong). It's useful because it serves to remind us of the detail involved in creating visual interfaces. In real eLearning design, of course, this is just the starting point. For web design, almost all of the elements described here would be incorporated into style sheets. Then you would add on a set of standard interactive elements (such as dropdown selections, search interfaces, breadcrumbs) and work up to macro elements of design (how to incorporate discussions, simulations, and maybe static content such as presentations of PDFs). So, like I say, a start. But you have to start somewhere. (p.s. don't click on the 'download now' link, it's not a download link, it's a third-party subscription link from leadpages.net. Here's a real visual design checklist from Blue Wire rather than the fake one this post provides.)
