At the E-Learning Symposium, Articulate's David Anderson (@elearning) provided an engaging and practical lecture on using elements of design when building your courses. Doing so makes them more heavily geared toward the topic, as well as aesthetically pleasing to the learners. Topics addressed were:

• working with the "client" to create a look and feel for e-learning using a brilliant mind mapping technique
• creating custom themes
• the personality of fonts and choosing the right font to enhance your e-learning
• simple graphic techniques that reduce text and make your e-learning more inviting

David also answered the question of why there is invariably a rooster crowing on his webinar.
