Visual literacy

When we learn online, everything from pictures and diagrams to videos and graphics plays a big role in how well we understand the material. Being able to choose and use these visual elements wisely is what we call visual literacy. This skill is crucial not just for making your course look good, but for making it more effective for every student.

Visual literacy helps us communicate better in a world where we're constantly seeing and sharing images and videos. In this post, we're going to look at why visual literacy matters so much when you're picking out visuals for your online courses. We'll discuss how the right images can help students grasp complex information, remember it longer, and feel more connected to what they're learning.
