 down text, the easier it will be for learners to read. Images are perfect for this. People process visual information 60,000 fasters than text.
Start by replacing long chunks of texts with relevant visuals. A well-researched and well-designed infographics is good. In fact, a Nielsen study finds users pay attention to “photos and other images that contain relevant information.”
Whitespace Improves Readability and Comprehension
Whitespace, or having a generously spaced content, makes it easier for users to read and comprehend your material. This is why designers place a high value on whitespace. It keeps web pages free of clutter and offer readers more room to breathe. It directs their attention to important elements, show relationships between items and establish a pattern of hierarchy of content.
Studies, in fact found a 20-percent increase in comprehension due to effective use of whitespace. Make sure an ample amount of space surrounds the text.
Choice of Fonts Affects Readability Too
Readability is influenced by another factors. White space is one. Typography is another. The size and type of font you select has an effect on how your readers takes in your content.
Designers, in fact, insist on using sans-serif fonts on computer screens. These fonts are much more legible on screens with 100 pixels per inch or less. Popular sans-serif fonts are Arial and Verdana. Also, keep in mind that the recommended font size for on-screen reading should be no smaller than 10 points and no larger than 14 points.
