    Creating a Visual Style Guide for eLearning: What Should You Include?

    When beginning a new eLearning project, there are a number of important things an eLearning team needs to have: quality learning content, an understanding of the ways learners assimilate information, and the ability to deliver a simple and engaging multimedia learning experience. Another important component of the process is a visual style guide. If a team of designers is working on the eLearning project, a visual style guide is critical in order to insure that the final product has a cohesive, unified, and professional look in keeping with the company's visual style.
