Principle: Sense of Community
“An impressive collection of studies has shown that participation in well-functioning cooperative groups leads students to feel more positive about themselves, about each other, and about the subject they're studying. Students also learn more effectively on a variety of measures” – Alfie Kohn

Principle: Online Presentation Design Principles
“Design is about choices and intentions, it is not accidental. Design is about process. The end user will usually not notice ‘the design of it.’ It may seem like it just works, assuming they think about it at all, but this ease-of-use (or ease-of-understanding) is not by accident, it’s a result of your careful choices and decisions.” – Garr Reynolds

Principle: Online Presentation Design Principles
FontsDesign professionals such as Robin Williams and Garr Reynolds argue that any design should contain no more than two fonts. Furthermore, those fonts should be of contrasting type. For example, if your primary font is a serif font (has those little hats and feet), your secondary font should be a sans serif font (without those little hats and feet). Using an Ariel font with a Calibri front causes discomfort for the reader because both are sans serif fonts. The same is true if you use a Times New Roman font with a Book Antiqua font because both are serif fonts.
