Activity 3: Webinar Visuals
Amy and Tyrese have been working with a subject matter expert to develop content for the organization's next professional development webinar. You have been tasked with reviewing their materials.
- The webinar content Amy and Tyrese developed was designed for asynchronous learning. This type of learning refers to when the:
Try again!
This type of learning refers to synchronous learning.
Correct!
This type of learning refers to asynchronous learning.
Try again!
This type of learning would be considered synchronous learning because all the learners are connected at the same time.
- You noticed that many of the slides contain a lot of text. You suggested pairing the text with images for a greater impact, using visual lists instead of bulleted lists to:
Correct!
Visual lists improve the visual and emotional appeal of the slides because these lists can provide color and other variations from plain bulleted text.
Try again!
Although white space around text can offer contrast, there is a more appropriate response to provide greater impact.
Try again!
Although variety does improve visual appeal, there is a more appropriate response to provide greater impact.
- You recommended the use of charts to display data. Tyrese asked which type of chart he should use to show percentages. You responded, the chart that best represents percentages is a:
Try again!
A line chart is used to demonstrate trends.
Try again!
A bar chart is used to show comparisons between quantities.
Correct!
A pie chart is used to show percentages.
- Tyrese wanted to revise the slides with more charts for other types of data. He wants to show variations in quantity over time as well as comparisons between quantities. He should use:
Try again!
While bar charts do show variations in quantity over time, line charts show trends rather than comparisons between quantities.
Correct!
Vertical bar charts show variations in quantity over time, and horizontal bar charts show comparisons between quantities.
Try again!
Pie charts show percentages, and line charts demonstrate trends.
- Amy used these fonts in the slides: Times New Roman, Courier New, and Arial. Which visual design rule did she break?
Try again!
A maximum of two types of fonts should be used per slide.
Correct!
A maximum of two types of fonts and two sizes should be used per slide.
Try again!
There is no such rule as the Serif-Sans Serif Rule.
- Sans Serif fonts, such as Arial or Helvetica, are recommended for online presentations because:
Correct!
Text on screens is easier to read when Sans Serif fonts are used.
Try again!
Small lines at the end of a stroke in a letter refer to Serif fonts, which are easier to read for print documents filled with text, such as newspapers.
Try again!
While these fonts may be less distracting to read text on screens, there is a more appropriate response.
