  1. For Next Week (10/5)Thinking about Texts • Comenius: • How would people of his time have perceived Orbis? • What are the underlying assumptions about the relationship between pictures and text? • What is the underlying conception of learning that’s at play here?

  2. Thinking about Texts • Hartley • Have you noticed in your own work the kinds of design principles he talks about? Do you find them useful? • In your favorite/unfavorite text, are those principles used? • Carr • Has your reading, thinking style changed with Google, web-based materials?

  3. Thinking about Texts • Kavett, Lupton, Information Aesthetics • Have you been aware of typography? • Do you think it affects your perception of the content? • Any strong likes, dislikes? • Have you ever used Comic Sans in a report or paper (T/F)? • Wikibooks • Have you used an OER (Open Ed Resources) text? Reactions?

  4. Thinking about Texts • Questions on your own favorite (unfavorite) text: • What made the text easy/hard to learn from? • How could the text have been designed differently? • Was the text accompanied by multimedia content? Was it useful? Could the same material have been learned better by using non-text media? • Did the text incorporate Hartley’s principles? Where/where not? • Does the text improve on Comenius?
