Graphic Design Basics: Key Principles to Enhance Designing Slide Presentations

This project, Graphic Design Basics: Key Principles to Enhance Designing Slide Presentations, aims to develop an online course to equip learners without basic visual design knowledge. The course was designed to improve the slide presentations' look and feel. To evaluate the course, four usability participants (n=4) and twenty-eight learning effectiveness participants (n=28) participated in completing the online course. After each participant completed the usability study tests, immediate modifications were enacted to enhance the user experience. Overall, the course received positive feedback from the usability and learning effectiveness participants, regarding visual design, ease of navigation, interactivity, quotes, and multimedia. In the future, the results show that adding more activities enhances their learning and allows them to apply the skills to the slide presentation.
