Audio Sound and atmospheric effects consistent with the context for
learning (an authentic voice and literacy and language support)
Consideration of the amount of audio required to ensure engaged
and effective learning needs to be balanced. Where audio is
required, it must be possible for the user to directly control the
audio, that is, they can turn it on or off and can replay it.
Complete synchronization of the audio and visuals must be
observed.
Graphics Navigation in digital LRs should use intuitive graphics rather than
and text whatever possible. Interface and information design should
Animation focus on the use of space and movement to enhance visual
learning.
Graphics should be supported by texts (or numbers)
Graphics should be age-appropriate.
Animations require user control – start, stop, replay.
Animations should be used to illustrate processes rather than
simply replace text.
Clear color should be used in graphics.
