Pathway: Designing for Digital Learners
Level: Beginner - Introduces fundamental concepts and basic applications
Facilitators: Lindsay Lutman, Amanda Tennyson, Jessica Ament, Caroline Sanford, Reese Davis
Learn evidence-based strategies to transform your slide presentations into clear, engaging, and accessible learning tools. Drawing on cognitive science and Mayer's Principles of Multimedia Learning, you'll discover how to reduce cognitive overload, highlight key concepts, and pair meaningful visuals with narration for maximum impact.
We'll explore accessibility strategies, including contrast, perceivability, and compatibility with assistive technologies, to ensure all learners can engage with your content. Through hands-on practice, you'll create or revise a slide presentation, experiment with design techniques, and test how your slides work for both live and recorded delivery.
By the end of the workshop, you'll be able to create polished presentations that are visually appealing, pedagogically sound, inclusive, and attention-grabbing.
