Does e-learning have to lag behind the world of agency-driven design? How can we capitalize on our strengths of analysis, and learn from psychology research, marketing, and advertising, to create cutting-edge e-learning design so the agency world follows us? On Friday, February 1, join SweetRush Creative Director John-Carlos Lozano at ASTD TechKnowledge 2013 in San Jose, CA, for “Voted Best-Dressed: Design for a New Generation of E-Learning.” In our session, we’ll explore topics such as the psychology behind design, the impact colors have on learning, how people interact with user interfaces, the design elements that foster or inhibit learning, and how all of this melds with our tried-and-true principles of instructional design.Co-presented by a team that includes a seasoned creative director and an instructional expert, you will come away with tools, techniques, and resources that you can use to harness the power of visual design and engagement. This will help you increase the effectiveness of your e-learning courses — all while saving your organization time and money. You’ll learn new ways to plan, design and launch your trainings more effectively, increasing learner engagement and knowledge retention.Join us. We’d love to see you there!At this time, our session is scheduled for Friday, February 1, 9:45–10:45 am in Salon I/II. Please consult your program; times and locations are subject to change..
