Besides discussing how to present design basics in class and where to get the best ideas from, much of Thursday’s discussion centered on giving design some prime time in the classroom. Many think of journalism skills as writing skills, and students must certainly learn how to report and write in the journalistic style, but if content is not presented in an eye-pleasing way or in a way that aids the reader in finding the information easily, then the writing skills don’t much matter.
Several advisers share their publication links as well as links to sites great from which to steal ideas. Click on the archives tab and find the design discussion.
December 12 will find us talking about grading strategies with Evelyn Lauer. And who couldn’t use some ideas on that? Join us at 8 p.m. ET on #jerdchat.
