While listening to a teacher lecture for hours doesn’t suit many visual learners, watching a dynamic speaker demonstrate a lesson does. Visual learners are sensitive to body language, and often have an advanced ability to “read” people. Many visual-spatial learners aren’t able to depend on their ears for information, so they develop incredible visual and intuitive abilities.

Visual-spatial learners do well with courseware systems that employ not only color-coding, pictures, graphs, and charts, but stimulating videos. Courseware systems may include videos with demonstrations, simulations and screencasting to cater to visual learners. In a courseware system video, a speaker should use a great deal of body language as well as references to diagrams and charts, as well as images.

While your learning management system students will constitute a motley batch of learning types, many are probably strong visual-spatial learners. Luckily, the instructional tools that a learning management system provides can be used to effectively represent information spatially and with images.

Include graphs and graphic organizers in your learning material. Graphic organizers include brainstorms and idea maps, webs, plots, and illustrations like stack plots and Venn plots. Showing the relationship between ideas and images, teachers can help all students–not only visually-gifted ones–digest information more quickly.

Using your learning management system tools like Coggno‘s text tool, video tool, SCORM publisher, template tool, and question bank, engage your students in active, visually-interesting learning content.
