Create 1.1.3 Appearance

Appearance can make a world of difference in an online learning atmosphere. Learning materials need to be presented in a way that is easy to understand and visually appealing to the learner.  This can be accomplished by paying attention to details.  Effective use of white space,  colors that compliment each other, and text that is easy to read are all good tips for a visually appealing site.
