=**Chapter 10: Creating Learning Environments**=

Consider how you will use this information in your work from now on. Then you need to locate, read and post a summary of an article 1- discussing the creation of learning environments related to one of the topics posted in the chapter 2- locating an article about visual design and effectiveness of graphics and text. OR 3- disseminating research on the use of different graphic elements (for example how many colors to use on a page).

Given that when most people hear the word DESIGN they think of the visual design of a product and we don't spend much time on that in this course.

Definition of Graphic Design from Wikipedia:

 * Graphic design** is the process of [|communicating] [|visually] using text and images to present information. [|Graphic] design practice embraces a range of cognitive skills, aesthetics and crafts, including [|typography], [|visual arts] and [|page layout]. Like other forms of [|design], graphic design often refers to both the process (designing) by which the communication is created and the products (designs) which are generated.

Make sure the article is from a journal publication either in print or online but not just someone's blog, ID website or a newspaper article. You can include a link to the article if it will remain active. If you cannot include these THEN you do not have an appropriate article. You need a regular article and not just a quick news brief - a typical article would be about 10-20 pages printed. Summary should contain:
 * Article citation: (practice APA style here & provide active link if possible)
 * Brief Statement of the author's purpose
 * Model, theory, or training discussed
 * Settings/Students/Situations
 * Discussion/Implications
 * Your impressions of the discussion, relationship to this course, and implications related to classroom work. How does the model, research, or training described compare to the information in your text?

Some journals might include: ** **Educational Technology Research and Development ** **Journal of Educational Media (Now: Learning Media and Technology ) ** **Learning, Media and Technology (Formerly: Journal of Educational Media) ** **British Journal of Educational Technology **  ||
 * //You can present this information in any creative format that you choose!!//**
