Week 2: Digital Text and Visual Design

This infographic pertains to Objective 2 in my course “Effective Co-Teaching in the Virtual School Classroom (Grades 4-12)” which states, that participants will be able to analyze and compare different models of co-teaching and select the most appropriate model to meet specific learning objectives and student needs. My infographic gives the different descriptions of co-teaching models, the suggested frequency that they should be used, and how they can be applied in the virtual space. Learners can use this graphic to analyze the models, considering pros and cons and determine which models might fit their classrooms. 

In terms of design principles, I used simplicity by using icons. I also used contrast in order to make the design more visually appealing and easier to read. Repetition was also present as I made sure that each section contained the same information with the same sections (description, logistics in the virtual space, and a visual representation of it). Alignment was also an element that I attempted by lining each section up to ensure unity. Finally, I used proximity when I made sure that I put the models that should be used most frequently at the top of my graphic and the models that should be used the least frequently towards the bottom.
