dc.description.abstractMany classroom technology knowledge bases in higher education are created by technicians whose natural inclination is to create overly detailed text-based articles. Their aim is to cover all scenarios an end user may encounter, and provide as much information as possible. These articles are unattractive, cumbersome, and often deter the institution’s faculty and staff members from utilizing them as an information resource. By developing these articles with graphic design principles in mind, they become more user-friendly and functional as a tool. Strong emphasis on images, color, and simplicity provides an effective alternative to large blocks of text. Many studies have concluded that people in a variety of age groups perform better as learners when information is presented in multi-modal format, such as infographics. These methods combine text with images to provide a more concise and clear delivery of content. Beyond better understanding, they also cite that the experience is more enjoyable, which may lead to repeated use of this format. This project reimagines the information in a typical knowledge base and applies a new visual aesthetic using Gestalt’s principles of design, consistent iconography, and interactivity. It aims to create a more intuitive and simplified experience for the institution's end users.en_US
