Visual Design for Learning Performance and Accessibility


Listen Later

What if better visual design could simultaneously boost learning outcomes and meet accessibility requirements? Visual design expert Connie Malamed, author of "Visual Design Solutions," reveals how strategic visual choices enhance learning for everyone — then shows how to make those same visuals accessible without compromising effectiveness.

We'll explore why visuals help people learn, characteristics of effective visual design, common mistakes learning designers make, and the crucial difference between visual design and graphic design. Then we'll dive into accessibility essentials: sufficient contrast, color combinations to avoid for color vision deficiency, best practices for alt-text and screen readers, and how to convey information beyond color alone.
