Points to be considered while preparing text-based instructional
materials –
• Reading comprehension process
• Variables in both reader & text
• Design of the instructional materials
Designing elements –
• Structure & Organization
• Readability & Legibility
• Visual illustration
Structure & Organization
 Verbal cueing
o Linguistic cueing
 Semantic – text
 Syntactic – grammer
o Instructional design in nature
 Typographical cueing
o Font
o Space between lines (1.3/ 1.5), paragraphs (double), more space
between sections than subsections.
• Face (Arial, Verdana, Calibri etc.)
• Styles (Bold, Italic, Underline)
• Size (24201612)
• Color (black, blue, brown etc.)
Contd
Readability & Legibility
 Readability – interaction between reader & text. Depends on
o Reader based factors
o Text based factors
 Legibility – inter-relationship between the size of type, length of line, &
space between the lines • Avoid fancy typefaces (sans serifs are always
better)
• Use 11-12 font size, with 1-2 inter line space
• Keep the line length within 120mm, left aligned (not
justified)
• Avoid ALL UPPERCASE letters, use sentence case
• Prior knowledge of the students
• Knowledge of the language
• Knowledge of the comprehension process
• Number of words per sentence
• How arguments are presented
• Place of example
Contd
Visual Illustrations - Picture & figures with words may enhance
understanding & its retention.
Properties of visual illustrations are –
• The message is not the visual alone – it is the interaction between the
visual stimulus & prior knowledge of the learner.
• They are used for specific affective or cognitive purpose – provide
visual explanation of verbal argument (visual memory > word memory).
• It has cross-reference between the text & visual illustration.
