Visual literacy [presentation]

A presentation on Leveraging Visual Literacy for Communication by Nicole Brown : The ability to critically engage with and communicate through visual materials is becoming a core competency for participation in today’s highly visual culture. This presentation will share successful techniques for using images in libraries. Visual learning objects will show how images can frame an instruction session by capturing learners’ attention and preparing them to delve into conceptual content.
