Week 2: Activity 1

Format text to enhance learning

Take some text for a topic you teach and organize it to enhance learning. Choose some text with multiple topics, but not so much that could not be displayed on one page. Use strategies from ‘Text Design for Online Learning’ to organize and format this text.

In a ‘callout’ describe the specific design choices you have made to enhance learning. Try to give your callout a border and different colour background to make it stand out. You should be able to do this with the table tool in the editor or by using the ‘div’ tag and applying some styles to it.

Publish your content in a blog post but do not give it the ‘EDDL 5131’ category (these posts will likely be long and they would overfill the course blog.
