How Pictures Help Us Learn And Understand Concepts
Research has shown us how people can improve their understanding of concepts and increase their engagement with teaching materials. To do this we can use pictures in a scenario (virtual simulation of real-world practices) where the learner can role-play and explore their environment whilst playing out the jobs of the professional they wish to become, or, already are. They can make mistakes (forget to administer medication, give false diagnosis, blow-up labs, etc.). This way they practice without actual real-world consequences getting in the way of their learning. Of course making mistakes has its consequences (loss of points, inability to proceed, game-over, etc.), but this is not as tragic as blowing up a real science lab. The great thing is that these techniques appear to be transferable, which means that we can apply them in a broad-range of settings (different business situations, etc.). The principles are the same.
The foundation is to use context-relevant pictures, as these help people understand concepts better. Doing this in a clever learner-centered manner, one where the technology and the content have been built around proven learning methods provides an optimal learning experience, key to learning.
