Before taking this course, my perception towards visual functions are that pleasing to the eyes, have elements such as balance and unity and some some sorts of arts. However, the visual function is more than important in designing the courseware.
The visual interface gives the impression of the whole courseware and motivates learners to use the courseware. Eventhough we design the courseware aligned to the learning theories and have good information and interaction design, without good visual design the courseware will not be effective to meet the objectives and specifications.
And I believe that the most important consideration in choosing visual interface / theme of the courseware is the need of audience. The visual must match the criteria of the audience. Example; kids, teen, adults etc.
