Visual Learning
I have been teaching at ground campuses on a college level for 14 years in the Visual Communications area. I've been teaching online for the last 2 years and knowing that students in Visual Communications tend to learn more when they they can "see" what they need to do. I've needed to be somewhat creative in developing methods of delivering the information to them visually so I've created Animations for my Announcements and have also created a You Tube Channel that shows step by step videos on how to achieve what the assignments state that they need to do to supplement their learning. Students have been endlessly thankful for this additional learning tool. The extra effort on my part has made for some very happy students.
erica,
Great. The more variety we provide the more we can "hit" all students learning styles. The feedback from students is important and I'm glad it's positive. Thank you.
Jim & Dr. Crews,
We are using PPTs, video presentations, and handouts (visable/printable), based on the course work. This is truly adding to our students getting a variety of 'visual' learning. We have experienced some positive feedback from the students, and faculty, especially with the PPT content. Thanks!
Jim,
Makes sense - the visual part. It is always good to provide course content to meet all learning modalities for students. Keep a variety of methods. Thanks.
