20 Learning Activities for the Visual Learner

Tweet

When developing course activities, teachers must keep in mind that students learn in a variety of different ways. One common way that students learn is visually. Visual learners are those who process and assimilate information in a visual way. So, how can you design stimulating course activities that can enhance the learning experience for the student who is more visually-oriented? Luckily, web-based technologies make this task a little easier. As it turns out, there are many activities that can be designed (or redesigned) for the visual learner. In the list below, I've divided them up to make them easier to consider.

When I was a student, my mathematics and computer courses required mostly analytical approaches to process information. The problem for me was that I was very visually-oriented. So, to compensate, I had to use many visual techniques and strategies to help me understand what the major concepts of a topic were, how they fit together and how they were related to other topics.  For instance, like most visual learners, I was uncomfortable learning topics sequentially. So, I had to develop my own systems for organizing information so that I could recall it whenever I needed to.
