The resources for this week's class were very informative. The Webstyle guide website seems to be the most useful of them all, but as mentioned in the syllabus it contains a lot of information. Scanning gave me an idea but I guess as I go along I will examine the relevant sections in more detail.
Most WYSIWYG editors have a section for alternate text when you upload an image. I always wondered what was the point of this. From observation I noticed that when you hovered the mouse over an image with a alternate text, the text came up. However, now I know it's an accessibility feature. I did not even consider accessibility features when I was building my website. Will bear that in mind now.
Second, I found the experiments on Multimedia learning very useful. I liked the fact that the findings were not based on just literature reviews but actual experiments done. In addition, I like the fact that it combines Instructional Design principles with psychology principles. At this stage in my web design the information is not directly applicable to me but if we were to design some multimedia activities I would definitely apply these principles.
About Me
- Julaine
- I am a graduate student at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE). I am from the beautiful Island of Jamaica....... Ok enough of the formal verbiage, I am really a very hard to confine to one adjective or dimension person. I am open minded, not willing to be the vacuum of everything that is presented to be. I follow my dreams & see each challenge as an empowerment opportunity. I have a passion for teaching and learning, anything that involves communicating information, performance, motivation....you get the drift.
