Are you getting the most learning value from visuals? Thoroughly
revised and updated, Graphics for Learning is the second
edition of the bestselling book that summarizes the guidelines for
the best use of graphics for instructional materials, including
multimedia, texts, working aids, and slides. The guidelines are
based on the most current empirical scientific research and are
illustrated with a wealth of examples from diverse training
materials. The authors show how to plan illustrations for various
types of content, including facts, concepts, processes, procedures,
and principles. The book also discusses technical and environmental
factors that will influence how instructional professionals can
apply the guidelines to their training projects.

graphics work--they've created a very interesting read, full
