    What an amazing episode full of great design ideas backed by research! The discussion on how line drawings are more memorable and support learning was interesting. I also liked how she covered emotion is deeply tied to learning and us designers should do what we can to create a positive mood. Essentially a summary of the best parts of Dorian Peter’s book!

    What an enjoyable and informative podcast. Should be required listening for all designers! The conversation moves quickly and covers many aspects of instructional design interface: visual, social, emotional, & multimedia.
