Design Compelling Navigation with 4 Fresh Icon Sets

 One of the best way to give your project a custom feel is to create unique navigation that reflects the look, feel, and goals of your course. You can set the right tone, grab learners’ attention early, and direct their focus with navigation that tells the story of your content. And free, custom icon sets set the tone for that sophisticated look.

Icon sets aren’t just for navigation, either. They’re a great shortcut to creating tempting interactivity. For example you could use several icons to create a drag and drop, asking learners to sort concepts, objects, or ideas. Or you can simply use icons as handy visual shorthand for concepts you’re trying to teach your learners.

Take a look at these 4 new icon sets and let your imagination run wild with everything you can do with them!
