Create 1.1.3 Appearance Forum

Benefits of layout, media, and appearance. 

Layout - High contrast between background color and object of focus 
Media -  Many images are used, formatted shapes with texts and videos
Appearance - Attention to spacing


Please identify ten instructional sites

Five sites which exemplify sound design ideals

Five that do not adhere to these standards
Physics classroom - Use a lot of reds which hurt the eye
Physics central - They have a lot of still shots, not interactive, very wordy
Khan Academy - There instruction videos are not appealing, especially compared to GPB Physics / Chemistry instructional videos
Merlot - Is not user friendly...very crowded usage of space
Biology Corner - A lot of slide presentations without sound or interactive component.  Basically, you resort to reading slides.


*I loved THINKQUEST but they are no-longer online.  Found that out during 2nd semester.
