HELLO EVERYONE!
We started this week with the topic of multimedia design. My aim in this article is to briefly explain the important issues when the multimedia design is being made.
In the beginning, we touched on the principles of visual design. These principles are grouped under four headings. We can say these as alignment, contrast, emphasis, and unity.
Alignment simply means the ordering of text on a page or whatever is on that page. Contrast is the difference in brightness or color that makes an object distinguishable. Although we do not see the other principles of visual design titles, it is helpful to know that they also include them. We can also say that the other important factors of graphic design are emphasis and unity.
Contrast simply means the highest to lowest brightness ratio in a picture. In visual perception of the real world, contrast is determined by the difference in color and brightness of the object and other objects in the same field of view.
The emphasis, as the name suggests, is done to emphasize and attract the attention of the viewer.
Unity takes the integrity of the design. The principle of integrity is not to deal with the design piecemeal, but to make sense of it completely. The most indispensable principle of good design is integrity.
When we looked at Coursera, we talked about how to design and develop effective learning technologies. We talked about how we can adapt students to this developing world of technology, namely e-learning. We looked at technologies tailored to the needs of older people. We learned about the distance design frameworks we need to learn to design effective, technology-enhanced, and active learning environments.
In module 4, we looked at Cognitive Load Theory, which leads the design and development of effective, technology-enhanced and active learning environments and learning technologies. We learned about this theory's tips on how we can maximize students' capacities. It has been observed that people living in poverty have a higher cognitive load than people with middle and upper socioeconomic income levels. In this context, the economic level is an important factor for people not to carry this burden. We should also look at it in terms of the consequences of the economic level, because poor people think more about many things than rich people, so their cognitive load is higher. In other words, if there is a person who is poor but doesn't worry too much about their problems, that person is likely to have a low cognitive load.
This week, we covered them in general.
See you next week. Stay with love <3
