Pictures… The power of pictures has been recognised in educational psychology for a long time. consider these results important because, not only do they support the idea of pictures enhancing learning, but they also suggest that an infographic can achieve similar learning outcomes whether or not it is accompanied by a relatively large amount of text. However, I still feel that pictures can be a useful pedagogical Diagrams… Charts…

In my quest to realize a Star Trek-ian society within my lifetime I wish to promote free tools, eLearning tools at that. One of the great recent repositories is Jane Hart's Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies. Everyone could build a repository with free eLearning tools, but she did it by distilling the top 100 tools that were provided to her by expert eLearning colleagues from all around the world.

However, the real point of the post is the way Crammer and Wasiak's book is designed -- pictures fill up the pages just as much as the text, if not more.

was surprised at the power of the picture. That's right, another trip to London, another book. This time it's The Business of Memory by Frank Felberbaum (I must get myself a name like that!), published by Rodale (2005). I

When you don't meet someone in person, you still paint a picture of them in your mind. I had to keep staring at each of them hard as I replaced my old pictures. The bonus of so many of the social media tools we use is that our pictures are attached. Yesterday I had the pleasure of working on-site with a client for the day. This is a group I've been working very closely with for the past year.

Her blog features an abundance of eLearning tips and tricks and why I wanted to put her in the picture right now is because of a recent post that got me into design thinking mode .
