Four Aces of Effective Teaching • OUTCOMES • Objective; let them know where you are taking them • CLARITY • Be simple, clear and concise • ENGAGEMENT • Do not overload; show steps that they can also do, and not just read/see • ENTHUSIASM • Try to make it fun (if possible); improves motivation (Walls, R.T., 1994)

  4. Text • ISO principles underlying recommended page sizes – • Less is more – Do not overload information • Font size, color separation, italicized, line spacing, column width, case sensitivity • Titles should be clear, concise and well descriptive (Hartley, J., 2004)

  5. Picture/Images • Size and positioning • Picture perception • Meaning based on resemblance to visual environment (James J. Gibson) vs pictorial conventions (E.H. Gombrich) • Instruction Flow and Navigation • Must follow actual real life sequence of steps events (Hartley, J., 2004)

  6. Picture/Images Renaissance Perspective Theory: Brunelleschi – Make the viewer assume the artist’s point of observation. Take learner into your world. Constructivism: E. H. Gombrich –Perception is where reality and cognition meet (Neisser, 1976). But user must construct its own meaning.
