Kartz will address the effectiveness of online teaching in relation to the graphical user interface (GUI) and its menus, windows, icons and navigation as a form of communication (visual language). The workshop will conclude with a group activity and discussion. Please feel free to bring your laptops if you would like to discuss your own use of visuals in the classroom.
