Abstract
With the development and improvement of information transfer efficiency in this era, visual communication has people's life and communication. However, the thinking in the traditional visual communication course is fixed, and students' learning enthusiasm is weak. Hence, this study proposes an autonomous learning mode by using a four-element teaching design. First, we propose relevant knowledge and ability, learning task, supporting program, and special practice as four elements related to education program. Second, we integrate them into the autonomous learning model to help students achieve learning transfer. Third, we use the new K-means algorithm to collect students' autonomous learning behavior data in the online course of visual communication and divide the data into three levels (high, medium, and low levels) for analysis. Finally, we design autonomous learning teaching cases for visual communication by using the proposed four-element teaching design and analyze the teaching effect. Our results show that the proposed learning mode enables a long learning video watching time for students, which in turn produces a high percentage of completed tasks. This result verifies that the application of the autonomous learning mode based on four-element teaching design can improve students' autonomous learning ability. Therefore, this mode is worth promoting.

This study proposes an autonomous learning mode in accordance with a fourelement teaching design and applies it during visual communication
Summary
The 21st century is an era of rapid development of knowledge. With the development of Internet and modern communications technology, information transfer between people has become increasingly convenient and efficient. The specialty of college visual communication has numerous problems, such as fixed and rigid classroom teaching mode, too many class hours for theoretical part, and lack of effective interaction step. All these problems lead to students’ low learning enthusiasm. A four-element teaching design mode is an example of transformation of contemporary teaching design theory, which receives an increasing attention It has a wide application prospect in various educational fields, such as vocational and online education. We develop a new four-element teaching design that conforms to the teaching content of visual communication. The proposed method can effectively improve learning effect for design major students and cultivate considerable design personnel conforming to the demands of the new media era
