What makes a novel, impactful? Is it the vocabulary of the author? Is it a powerful character? Or, maybe the setting of the plot?

The answer is all of these elements are the makings of your next favourite novel, provided that they blend together to give you the ability of ‘Visualization.’ By visualising, you conjure up the characters, their expressions, background and much more, which makes the book really interesting to read.

However, visualisation is not limited to just books. Various experts in elearning companies in Mumbai believe that a self-paced e-learning course or an instructor-led training session is best made engaging through visuals for information display. Apt visualisation leaves a strong impact on the learner.

Let’s understand why the maxim “a picture is better than a thousand words” is true.

Read this:

Option 1 – Some types of instruments used in a minor surgery are used for dissecting, grasping, clamping and suturing.

What picture forms in your mind when you read the names of these instruments types? You will imagine all sorts of instruments, but do you know its types and names?

Now, read this

Option 2 – Some types of instruments used in a minor surgery are:

Dissecting instruments

Grasping instruments

Clamping instruments

Suturing instruments

 

 

 

 

Isn’t option 2 more appealing and easy to understand? The visual display in option 2 played a key role in conveying the message and keeping the learners engaged through an attractive visual representation.

Visualisation is the representation of data using charts, graphs, diagrams, drawings, photographs, colour, or illustrations.  The onus to design a good visual strategy lies with the instructional designer. Join hands with Stylus Solutions, one of the best e learning companies in India to design a storyboard customized to your needs and requirements.  A good visual strategy reinforces the learner to recollect the information rather than the words alone.

Some features of visualisation are:

  • Presentation of information in a structured way
  • Easy analysis of multi-dimensional information display
  • Grouping of similar concepts for visual representation

A good visual strategy should convey the central idea or goal of the content. It should give order and continuity to learners and enhance the learner’s experience. Appropriate placement of visual elements balanced with text-based content should aesthetically appeal to the learners.
