Below is a simple Learning Map that goes through the steps that students will need complete an initial use of an online program called Khan Academy. Khan Academy is an online learning tool that offers individualized practice for students in a variety of subjects. The school that I work at is currently using this program in Math classes to support all of our students.
After reading articles about how colors can enhance memory performance and choosing the right color, I created the above Learning Map. I kept it very simple, identifying the three steps that students are expected to complete by giving each step its own color, and offering a bit more detail in a lighter shade of the same color. This will allow the students to visually follow the steps in the progression that I want them to. I used a brighter color to express things that I want the students to be sure to read, and chose a light/cool color for a background to allow all of the text to "pop".
Taking color into consideration when creating Learning Maps, like the one I created, will allow the creator to get their points across in a way that is both visually appealing and effective.
