Colour is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which means that it is a energy with a wavelength and frequency. This energy effects neurological pathways in the brain and creates a biochemical response. Each colour has a specific wavelength and each one affects our body and brain in a different way.
Colour affects our mood, behaviour and learning abilities. It is important to remember to use colours that enhance learning and improve retention when designing eLearning courses. So often than not, we design our eLearning courses with colours that match corporate identity or a logo, instead of looking at what biochemical response a colour creates and if it is contributing to the learning process.
Keep the following colour infographic in mind when designing your next course or even just when creating any content piece:
Good day May I use your Infographic in my blog? MomAgain@40. I have already linked to here, but it would be nice if I can use it on the blog post with regards colours and learning.
Thank you for asking permission to use our infographic. We are big believers in collaboration and sharing knowledge and would love for you to use our infographic. Please could you just credit the image back to The Learning Avenue somewhere on your post?
Thanks so much!!
