I found this fantastic video on the subject of composition through the nofilmschool site, one of the blogs that I subscribe to to satisfy my current obsession with all things video. You'll find it useful for any visual work you do, whether that's graphics, video, presentation slides or e-learning design!
A lot of highly-skilled work has been put into the design of this tutorial. Don't be fooled by the informal tone - this video is highly professional and wasn't produced in a few hours. And I was glued to it - for about 5 minutes. After that it was more of an effort (I was determined to see it through) because what I really wanted to do was try the ideas out.
Which made me think that learning experiences require composition too; in other words, the right balance between contrasting elements. My learning experience, watching this video, included (1) theory, (2) examples and non-examples, and (3) demonstration. What it lacked was (4) practice and (5) reflection/discussion.
And that's why I'd break this video up into smaller chunks and blend them in with all sorts of other elements.
