This course will help you to –

create forms that balance content and visual design to communicate and gather information successfully; and
gain an understanding of what research has revealed as problem areas in form design, which will further inform your choices regarding the forms you create.

Our courses combine live online sessions, facilitated by the course presenter, with self-directed online learning.

This course opens before the first live online session and closes well after the last live online session. This allows enough time for you to activate your SUNOnline presence before the live sessions start.
