This paper discusses message design for screen‐based (computer and video) instructional programs. Message design is defined as the art and science of planning for the manipulation of the physical form of the message. Including a comprehensive literature review, this paper supplies information based on personal experience. There are three main purposes for this work. The first purpose is to present a compilation of present conventions. The second purpose is evaluating these conventions in terms of their current relevance. The third purpose is to suggest a new set of guidelines for the instructional designer or message designer creating screen‐based instructional programs.
