E-learning challenge idea!!
Nov 04, 2014
David---hey I took some recommendations from the site on book recommendations and bought almost all of Jim Krause's books on design and I had an idea for a weekly challenge.
Krause challenges his readers to complete tasks throughout his book Design Basics Index and one has stuck with me. Take 10 pennies and arrange them on a paper to symbolize several different words: anarchy, isolation, escape, unity, etc... Then have someone guess which one each diagram represents the word.
So I was thinking that e-learning is dependent on graphics to create themes, right? Why not have a challenge where you give a list of words where we could design the symbology which we feel best represents the themes to the e-learner.
It's a great testament of how planning a learning curriculum (content) is very dependent on the arrangement of graphics throughout the presentation to exude an overall theme to the learner. Just a thought...

That's a great challenge idea, Jesi! Adding to my challenge calendar.
I even like the idea of an analog challenge where users arrange objects to convey concepts or words and then share digital photos of their work.
What a great idea!
Glad you liked it. Will be on the lookout for new challenges. I love looking at the work the contributors do...and hopefully I will have enough time to contribute one day.
