HOW TO MAKE TEACHING AND LEARNING MORE VISUAL.

If learners see the point rather than just hear it, they are more likely to remember it.

There are several ways to add visuals to teaching and learning sessions.

Some are commonly used while others are less frequently employed.

Presentation slides.

• Content presented by slides can be “bulleted” to anchor and emphasize verbal presentations.
• It can be enhanced with colour, graphics, animation, and audio/video streaming.

Flip charts.

• Important issues, questions, or solutions can be recorded or written on newsprint.
• Adding colour and visual graphics enhances the display.

Real Objects or Improvised Objects.

• You can utilize props, job-related equipment, play gear, sculpture, machinery, or any three-dimensional materials that directly or indirectly describe key elements of your subject matter.

Documents.

• Use reports, diagrams, charts, maps, pictures, drawings, or other similar images when they help to explain what you are presenting.
• It’s usually better to have copies for each participant rather than one copy that is displayed or passed around.

Vivid and interesting stories.

• Tell stories that illustrate the points you are making.
• The more visual details you include in the story, the more your learners will be engaged.

Decorations.

• Place colourful items in the learning environment that are visually stimulating, such as art, crafts, flowers/plants, furniture, banners, balloons, and any other decorative things.

Dramatic activity.

• By asking your learners to watch and/or participate in dramatizations of real work/life events, they can “see” how key actions unfold.

Demonstration.

• Show your learners how something is accomplished rather than telling them verbally. Involve them, if possible, in the demonstration.

Simulation.

• Let the learners experience the nature of events, procedures, and problems on a level that approximates or symbolizes the real thing.
• The visual aspects of simulations are usually unforgettable.

Mental imagery.

• Invite learners to visualize situations, both probable and improbable, by having them create mental images evoked by words.
