Customer Reviews

I am edified!

Before I picked up this book. I never gave consideration to how to incorporate graphics in my instructional material. I am not an artist by any means, but this book helps me look like a graphics pro. I frequently re-visit the text when I need inspiration. If you buy this book, you will pick up design tips that are hard to find in any other source. It must be used in instructional design classes all over the USA. I would love to meet the author!

I like this book!

I purchased this book for a class I will be taking. From what I've seen, it appears to be well-written and easy to follow with an accompanying web-site that will be a great help.

The Tufte for Educators

Linda Lohr is "The Tufte for Educators!" Unlike many other authors of similar texts who do not practice what they preach, Dr. Lohr not only TELLS the reader what to do--she SHOWS the reader how to create graphics with hundreds of learner-friendly visuals that support and illustrate her lessons.

An exclusive book

This is the first book that blends both the principles of visual design with learning principles. It has exhaustive examples reflecting, visual learning and it's implications on instructional design. This book is very much fun to read. A MUST READ !!!!!
