Headings, descriptions, and visual cues can help students detect where they are and what they need to do.
Why signpost?
Signposting uses phrases or visual cues to draw the learner's attention to:
- Required actions
- Important points
- Learning activities
- Key concepts
Constraints of using images
Selecting images for signposting that are easy to use and comply with accessibility standards is time consuming. In addition, images embedded in Ultra documents are automatically aligned to the centre of the document, and have undesired large (or small) gaps created around the images. Therefore, the use of emojis (small digital images embedded within the font structure) in Ultra Documents (Docs) can overcome some of the disadvantages of using images for signposting, while helping students to visually connect with the learning material.
Using emojis
Using emojis for signposting in your Ultra Documents promotes consistent design across subject sites. In addition, emojis behave like text in the online environment and they inherit the styling from adjacent text. In addition, text can be inserted right next to an emoji, whereas "wrapping text" around an image is currently not possible in Ultra Docs.
NOTE: Emojis will look different depending on what operating system or browser they are being viewed on. An example of this can be found at the bottom of this article.
Recommended emojis
To maintain consistency we have selected a set of emojis to use for various signposting requirements. To place emojis into your Ultra documents, simply highlight the emojis below, copy, and paste them into your page as you build. You could also copy all of them and put them into a hidden page on your subject site for quick reference.
馃槉 Verb: Descriptive heading
^ Emoji Headings
Emojis are used in headings to give us some capability to break up pages and give visual cues to students about the sections on the page. Usually they lead on from the emoji with a verb, however, sometimes a noun may be used.
鈻讹笍 Watch: Descriptive heading for video
Add a video description. Point out any key takeaways or reflection points.
Add note about accessibility (captions/transcript available?).
