Overview: TextUsing text for effective learning

Text visually supports content delivery and enables the learner to manage pace.

Text can be effective as the only form of content delivery; however retention is greater when text is combined with other methods.

Overview: GraphicsType of graphic should link to the target audience

FormalInformal

Graphics are a great way to visually enhance any content. They create interest and illustrate key messages.

Note: Animated graphics with constant motion can be distracting.

Example: Graphics

This is what I

have to say on the

subject.

And this is what I have

to say.

Well, I see things a bit differently.

Do not listen to them. Only

I speak the truth.
