eLearning : Three Tips For Better Color Usage

Tip #2:  Use Color to Train the Learner

Using a single color for all learner interactions is a great trick because your learner will automatically know they need to engage when they see that color. This is especially useful for beginners or learners who lack computer experience. 

Setting all interactive elements to the same color scheme gives the learner the ease of quickly knowing when they need to engage with the content.

Regardless of what color you use, ensure that every piece of text is readable and that there’s plenty of contrast. It is imperative that every learner is able to read all of the content, including sight or vision-impaired persons. (They use screen reading software to interpret the text, and it’s got to be high-contrast to be decipherable.)

You won’t know what type of device your learner is using to view your course. Different monitor settings or brightness controls on mobile devices can alter the experience. Prepare for every scenario.
