How to select and create an effective visual for your business presentationDave Paradi
Why do so many business professionals only use bullet point slides and the standard simple graphs in their PowerPoint presentations? This slide deck explains the four reasons why this is the case for many professionals. It shares an approach that works for people like analysts, accountants, engineers, and technical experts who don’t want to become designers just to create effective presentations.
Group Assignment for my ACED 8450 course - Reviewing Chapter 4 of the book "E-Learning and the Science of Instruction" - Course was in the Spring of 2015

This is an example of a student post and her response.
Consistency - The same typeface is maintained throughout the infographic. When showing the numbers that Ford wants the customer to pay attention to, they are all in the same size and color to emphasize their importance.
Contrast - The chart on this infographic does a good job of contrasting different companies through the use of different colors representing their sales numbers. The pie chart however uses very similar colors to show the difference in sales between different models of the same truck. This may be a tool to show that it is the same truck, but makes differentiation between the two halves more difficult than it needs to be.
Balance - This infographic uses informal balance through the mixture of visually dominant elements and weaker elements. This makes the viewer feel more engaged and more likely to read the entire infographic.
Emphasis - The company places an emphasis on the sales numbers and comparisons to other companies rather than the text. They do this by making the text smaller and black while the numbers are larger, bold, and blue. By enlarging the numbers and making them a different color, the viewers are drawn to the numbers and see them as the most important information.
Convention - This infographic follows normal conventions and does nothing in order to draw attention to any special meanings.
Simplicity - Overall, this infographic is very simple. It only uses 4 colors, has limited pictures, and very simple charts. This allows the viewer to see the information and take it in without a risk of confusion.
This infographic was created in an ethical manner. This is because it provides information that is backed up with charts that are also provided. It's simple presentation eliminates any chances of misinterpreting its message to be anything other than a direct report of sales.

M8A1 Formatting Help: Contrast
Hi, Adam.
You mentioned the issues associated with contrast. This is something that many students find challenging; however, PowerPoint actually helps us make these decisions. Did you know that many of the design templates and color schemes in PowerPoint are set up to provide adequate contrast? Don't be tempted in Module 8 to do something custom...choose a design template and color scheme that's already set up, and use it unmodified, so you don't have to worry about that sort of thing.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
1. Teaching Multimedia and Contiguity Principles Using Static Multimedia EDTECH 513: Summer Semester 2009 Robert Kilner
2.
3.
4. An Example of Good Use of Multimedia This is a good use of multimedia because it includes both text and graphics to go along with the text. The text and graphics support learning as they provide introductions to each section. These are called explanative graphics. Most of the graphics can be clicked on to enter various other parts of the site.
5. An Example of Poor Use of Multimedia This site is a poor example as it only includes links with no descriptions and graphics to support the text. Even the text does nothing in the way of supporting learning.
6. Another Example of a Poor Use of Multimedia This AT&T site from Canada is a poor use of multimedia since there are entirely too many “Decorative” graphics. That is, graphics that do not add to the learning process.
7.
8. Different Types of Graphics and Their Uses A video showing two effective sales approaches. An animation showing genes passing from parents to offspring. Transformational, Interpretive Guidelines that result in completion of a task; cause-and-effect relationships Principle An animated illustration of how to use a spreadsheet. A diagram with arrows showing how to install a printer cable. Transformational A series of steps resulting in completion of a task Procedure Animations of how the heart pumps Still diagrams to illustrate how a bicycle pump works. An animation showing how a virus invades a cell. Transformational Interpretive Relational A description of how something works Process A tree diagram of biological species. Three excel formulas to illustrate formatting rules Representational Organizational Interpretive Groups of objects, events or symbols designated by a single name Concepts A screen capture of a spreadsheet. A table of parts’ names and specifications Representational, Organizational Unique and isolated information such as specific application screens, forms, or product data Facts Example Useful Graphic Types Description Content Type

11. An Example of Poor Use of Continuity The picture above shows directions on how to assemble Disney’s “Wall-E.” However, there are no instructions whatsoever, so the reader is left to try to figure it out for themselves, without any guide to lead them or help them troubleshoot.
12. Another Example of a Poor Use of Contiguity Here, the text does not match the graphics, therefore, the principle of contiguity is violated.
