Colour Codes for Activities and Elements of the ‘Dynamic Teaching and Facilitation’ Book Series

The Design for the book series is well under way and Mini-Book I is in progress with formatting, proof reading and last additions. It is soon to be edited before the final layout and design is completed. A colour coding system has been designed to easily show readers all the activities.

This image is an example of the Activity Coding, though it hasn’t had words typed over the background.
