Visuals for Learning ModulesHarness the true power of visuals and diagrams

Visuals and diagrams are used extensively in learning - especially in e-learning. Yet their significance is frequently overlooked.

Too often, visuals are seen as a bit of window dressing, applied with little thought, as a way to liven up some dull text.

We won't try to turn you into an instant graphic designer, but the modules in this content stream will help you to:

understand better the true power and significance of visuals and diagrams

feel comfortable using them, and

show you how to apply them for maximum impact on learning outcomes.

What are the modules in this stream?

There are currently two modules for you to choose from in our Visuals for Learning content stream:

Module 1: Understanding visual design principles and guidelines

Visual and graphic designers well understand the principles and guidelines for creating and placing graphics on the screen. By contrast, these principles are largely unknown in the world of instructional design. This module helps you:

understand these prinicples and the impact they have on learning

work confidently with graphic and visual designers when commissioning or refining design work

think visually by giving you strategies to integrate visuals and diagrams into your instructional design approach.

Module options

Standard version: 1.5 hours, or

In-depth version: 2 hours

Module code: VL01

Module 2: Visual actions and tools to support learning

With an understanding of visual design principles in place, you can now apply your understanding by using a series of actions and tools. This module covers the practical application of principles through:

understanding visual categories - the different types of visuals and how they optimise knowledge transfer

Aligning visuals with your purpose - making sure visuals correspond to the purpose of your content (and understanding the impact on learning outcomes if you don't), and

specific actions you can take to reinforce learning and specific tools you can use to implement design principles.

Module options

Standard version: 1.5 hours, or

In-depth version: 2 hours

Module code: VL02

What about practice?

All modules contain a variety of exercises and activities, making the learning experience practical, hands-on and highly interactive, whatever delivery format you choose.
