Using illustrations to convey concepts can save time and can support students who have a visual orientation. Drawing a visual representation of a set of ideas or a process forces you to think in a different way compared with linear text. A project run by several Universities in Europe has resulted in the visual-literacy.org Web site. I’ve linked to the wonderful Periodic Table of Visualization Methods before, now more content has been added, including a couple of demonstration courses on Visual Literacy.
The demonstration courses are available with guest access in a local Moodle installation (another example of a project being run on the Moodle platform when the partners use different platforms for normal business). One course is aimed at business people and the other at engineers.
