I have to wonder if that's just overzealous. ;)ewhitesitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08326929661119075581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8698745330494187486.post-72708729490929881522013-10-12T07:58:05.215-07:002013-10-12T07:58:05.215-07:00Thanks, Mark!Thanks, Mark!ewhitesitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08326929661119075581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8698745330494187486.post-57665979423619526112013-10-09T15:46:09.685-07:002013-10-09T15:46:09.685-07:00Thanks, Erin.

I laughed out loud at the "...Erin - Good post. I laughed out loud at the "too many buttons" paragraph. I've taken classes/MOOCs that have over 20 buttons - it IS overwhelming and really unnecessary to the success of the course. Actually, students would probably like 2-3 buttons at most.<br /><br />I moaned at the old announcements. You know, I used Blackboard for about three years before I learned that the announcements could be seen by students going back about that amount of time - I was horrified! It does take time to clean everything up each semester.<br /><br />I've also seen leopard-print buttons; buttons with a ghastly pattern (could not read a word on it); and buttons that are misspelled (really). They should be clean and match the overall scheme of your banner and the course itself.<br /><br />Thanks for this thoughtful information!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
