Home | GIF Versus JPEG | Terms to Know Reflections The first step in the design process of this teaching and learning environment concerned my priorities as a teacher. I would like my students to have an opportunity construct individual meaning in their learning process related to GIFs and JPEGs. The students need to have a wide range of navigational choices and they should be able to explore the site in a nonlinear fashion. Therefore, I designed the site to serve as a reference for students to easily access. The site is composed of images and text in order to meet the needs of all learners. It was important to keep the visual design consistant so that user were not confused when linking to a different page.
