Back of the Napkin Book Review

Anna reviews the book, The Back of the Napkin: Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with Pictures, by Dan Roam.

Specifically, Anna describes how she applied the ideas from the book to elearning, and the difficulties she had putting them into practice.

To strengthen Roam's concepts, as they apply to elearning, Anna utilizes concepts from the book, e-Learning and the Science of Instruction: Proven Guidlines for Consumers and Designers of Multimedia Learning, by Ruth Clark and Richard Mayer.

She walks you through graphic concepts specific to elearning using The Back of the Napkin ideas; the graphic types being - decorative, representational, organizational, relational, transformational, and interpretive.

She explains with "napkin-like" drawings.

What are your thoughts about integrating images into elearning? Do you have examples of how they can provide clarity, relevance, and meaning?
