On top of being rigorous, well paced and adequate for the learning audience, teaching materials in STEM and all subjects have to look attractive to students. This course touches briefly upon two aspects of materials design: the harmony of colors used in text and images, and the question of headers in presentations. This complements the course "Letters and colors in teaching materials”.
A Q&A (questions and answers) forum allows for suggestions from participating teachers. The course contents will be updated with further applications and contributions from teachers, specially those coming from the Q&A section.

With the advent of the Web 2.0, especially with the possibility of communicating and collaborating easily, the necessary development of Personal Learning Environments has emerged in the Educational context. We shall develop this concept and see various examples of PLEs. Our students will welcome out guidance in the development of their personal digital environments.
This is a simple course to create posters. We will explain how to create the content of a scientific-type poster and how to do it with PowerPoint.
We will divide the course in 2 main parts: Content of the poster and PowerPoint use with some tips and hints on how to create easily your poster.
