Open Online Courses: Higher Education of the Future? - Techonomy

By Eric Rabkin One instructor’s firsthand look behind the scenes of the movement offering online education to the masses.

My coworker is an incredibly talented designer, but comes from an agency background, and doesn’t code. We are rebooting our company’s existing app with all-new design and functionality. He’s been working on some excellent concepts for it, and we are almost ready to think about visuals. With a small dev team in house supplemented by off-shore teams, and an immense number of sections to build, I want us to work more off of some concept screens, a style/assets guide, and modular sections that we can reuse. We also have to consider that many of our target users will be on non-3G enabled iPads, so mobile performance and touch affordances are key factors. For those of you that attended AEA Austin, or probably any of the other AEAs, much of this was discussed there. He asked me to write up a list of “best practices,” if you will, for him to base his visual style work off of. Style Guide Guidelines For designing responsively… For user experience… Visually…
