  • Incorporating space into a design helps reduce noise, increase readability, and/or create illusion. White space is an important part of your layout strategy.

      The use of space can be often overlooked or just not something that we always pay attention to.

      Using "white space" as a tool to balance, proportion and contrast on a page; also helps with readability; something to keep in mind when editing and trying to avoid text-heavy pages. Consider how can one use white space to prevent the text from looking too overwhelming.

      This is the same thing we want to do with self-paced lessons.
  • Aligning makes your design more ordered and digestible, as well as making it seem more polished.
  • Simple, minimal design does not automatically mean the design works, or is effective. But in my experience simple is always better than the opposite

      These questions are powerful for maintaining focus and alignment
  • The point of the template is to force a comparison between the two instructional delivery modes, and to make the differences between them explicit

      I think this would be very helpful for those who are designing and teaching blended courses as well to take a close look at how content would be delivered and which mode would be most effective.

  • “voice of the instructor” (all the little things we say and do when standing in front of a class) is missing. The graduate students’ learning products are not just mere “page turners,” they are lacking both in interactivity to hold the learner’s interest

      It is a challenge to work in that "voice of the instructor" and interactivity into lessons - especially for those new/newer to online teaching. These help develop a warm environment, a sense of community and provide appropriate scaffolding for learners...always looking for effective ways to do this.
