6 reasons why course visuals are a must for today's college students - eCampus News

6 reasons why course visuals are a must for today's college students - eCampus News | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
The higher education landscape is shifting and institutions are facing a decline in overall enrollment. Rather than opting for a traditional classroom experience, students today have come to expect greater flexibility in deciding when, where and how to learn. In fact, it is predicted that by 2019 at least 50 percent of all classes will be delivered online and that percentage will only continue to increase. To adjust to student expectations and keep enrollment up, higher education institutions must offer online courses or blended classrooms to compete with other colleges that already have those options.

"No doubt, many researchers have proved that visuals in online courses help in enhancing the learning experience. People often say that a picture is worth a thousand words. I believe the original quote was actually ‘A picture is worth ten thousand words’."

25 Top Concept-Mapping Tools For Visual Learning

 

Concept-mapping–or mind-mapping, idea-mapping, or some other variation that makes sense to you–is the practice of demonstrating the relationship between ideas in a map-like form.

Concept-mapping allows creators to articulate nuance, context, and interdependence between ideas in a very user-centered way. This makes them especially useful in education, whether you use them for pre-writing, research notes, or “back-mapping” a unit or unit assessment. They encourage macro-thinking, can provide a bridge to struggling writers who have trouble turning their thinking into prose, and are a powerful tool for visual learning.
