Visual Thinking in E-Learning
By Christine Martell | December 14, 2007
How blog conversations create learning opportunities
Tony Karrer wrote a post VizThink and Visual Thinking and Learning: Still not sure last week. It’s in reference to a conversation he was having with Tom Crawford, the CEO of VizThink about whether it would be valuable for e-learning professionals to attend the conference he is organizing in January.
Several of us who are facilitating at the conference responded, and a very interesting conversation developed. It’s worth going over to the post to read the comment conversation. As a result, a couple of us had more to say than was appropriate for a comment, so other posts were written to offer more resources.
- Tom Crawford put together Resources: Getting Started
- I started a series that includes Can you learn to think visually?, Where do you start with visuals?, Does it have to be attractive to be effective?. There are more posts in the works which you’ll be able to find here.
- Tony continued to write posts Crash Course in Visual Thinking and Visual Thinking: Do you have questions? (there are some great resource suggestions in the comments)
Dave Gray has been a leader in this field for many years, and his company Xplane has opened an office here in Portland. Dave joined in the conversation with Tony, and since he is a featured facilitator at the VizThink conference, Tom Crawford arranged for Dave and Tony to have an expanded discussion in a free webinar.
