• Visual learning is examined in cognitive learning
theories and reveals that diagrams assist learning :
– Dual coding theory
• Learners code information in both verbal and nonverbal
formats
– Schema theory
• Networks of information exist in learner’s memory and make
up prior knowledge
– Cognitive load theory
• There is a limit to the information that can be processed at
one time
Basics: Diagrams, Maps, and Webs
There are various types of diagrams, maps and
webs that can assist students with learning.

• Has a main idea in the center, with different kinds of
information connected to different types of info
Literacy Web
—students analyze stories to determine information
about the plot, characters, or theme
Basics: More webs
Character Webs, Comparison webs and Prewriting webs assist students with understanding

Character Web
— student identify traits of the characters of the story
Comparison Web
— students compare and contrast information to determine the
connections
Prewriting Web
— during the writing process, students enter main ideas in the
center and then brainstorm around it
Basics: Storyboards
A storyboard is a visual means of planning for a
multimedia project or website.

—Many students with disabilities and/or
language differences have problems
• with text comprehension skills
• vocabulary development, and
• abstract reasoning from text presentations
— Visual learning allows students
• to organize ideas during writing,
• understand the structure and content of text, and
