Typography and Building a Brand
Just finished the Typography Basics for E-Learning and was looking for some ideas on branding your courses using Typography across a number of courses in a curricula. Let's say you're writing 40 or so courses for a single bank on their processes, policies, sales model, etc. Matching the Typeface to the course subject will damage the branding of the courses. How do you keep the learner engaged by varying the content but also make it easier for them to know what to expect by using consistent course design standards?
Great topic Robert, the first design limitations I ran into with Rise were typography related. If the org has strong branding guidelines that are enforced, the look/feel/concept of the course can easily suffer so thats a great point to discuss. And in Rise you're pretty much locked into the Heading and Body fonts set on each course, so the system actually prevents the ID from (easily) changing fonts on a certain block.
This limitation was one of many reasons why we built the Mighty Chrome Extension, which adds all that typography flexibility back into Rise!
