Research Reflections

Doing all the research for the assignment that we just handed up, I realised that both style and substance are equally important for the elearning package to succeed.
A package could have extremely thorough and well-researched information, but if it is completely lacking in any visual appeal whatsoever no one will be interested enough to take a look at the contents. Similarly, a package could be extremely stylised and instantly draw viewers in, but if there isn't any content inside the users would be turned off immediately at the empty vessel.
I think there needs to be an equal balance, too many times I stumbled across initially exciting e-learning packages only to discover a complete lack of content. Also, I sometimes overlooked and didn't bother seeing a package that looked plain and boring, only to go back to it later and discover a trove of information just waiting for the user willing to plunder its depths.
This lesson I've learnt has helped me develop a focus on what I want for my final project. I will strive to attain this delicate balance in my final product to create a package that will not only draw viewers in, but also keep them sucked in to discover the content that lies inside.
