Creates a welcoming and inclusive environment.
Elio L. Arteaga: a true maestro of the visual arts applied to mass communications. Himself a blogger, he transmits to the students the passion for representing the media message in more ways than the written one. I took VIC3400 – Visual Design for Global Media on Fall of 2024, my very first semester in the Public Relations, Advertising, and Applied Communications bachelor at FIU, and it made me feel welcomed and appreciated, since such is the atmosphere Professor Elio creates for the teachings. His quizzes are in the form of Kahoot games, and playing you actually learn in a very fun way. He never, ever, ever forgets to leave a feedback comment, and when the semester ends you will discover that now the visual arts are easy and known to you, thanks to this great person in charge.
Elio L. Arteaga serves as an Adjunct Lecturer in the Lee Caplin School of Journalism & Media within the College of Communication, Architecture + The Arts at Florida International University, where he has been teaching since September 2005. He developed the fully online course VIC3400—Visual Design for Globalized Media in 2006, which was designated a Global Learning Elective in 2010, earned Quality Matters certification in 2015, and was redesigned for Canvas LMS in 2018.

His teaching emphasizes visual design, graphic design, and web design, contributing to students' digital literacy and creativity in a global context.
