Announcing: Visualization in Learning Report Released

It took a little longer than we expected to create, but the Visualization in Learning research report is finally here and the wait was well worth it.  This report was developed in conjunction with the great people at Brandon-Hall Research, and in particular, our co-writer on this report, Tom Werner.  In over 150 pages, we discuss 14 visually-loaded case studies on how visualization can improve the various stages of the learning development life cycle.  We didn’t know what we would find when we began the project, but as the submissions came in, a story started to become clear:

Learning designers are using visual thinking techniques throughout the learning development life cycle.

Not only were people using visual thinking to improve the final output of a learning module, they were using visuals to improve brainstorming, discovery, organization, planning, and design.

Learning Development Life Cycle

We had many people send in case study submissions for this report and selecting the best of the best was a difficult process.   In the end, we narrowed the list to 14 case studies that cover a wide array of topics such as:

Brainstorming & Discovery:

- Using Visuals in Intercultural Transition Training
- Rapid Design: Using Visuals for Learning Design
- Visualization for Learning with SemNet and Semantica
- Using Visuals in K-12 Czech Language Education
- Using Visuals in Student-Created Lesson Plans

Organizing, Planning & Designing:

- A Whole New Game Plan: Using Visuals to Tutor College Student-Athletes
- Using Visuals in Executive and Management Development

Communication & Persuasion:

- Visual Strategy Approach for Attorneys
- Using Visuals to Implement Processing Mapping and Improvement
- Using Visuals in Executive and Management Development
- Using Graphics to Encourage Reflection
- Graphic Recording of Training Sessions
- Using Visuals in Animal Care Specialist Training
- The Use of Visualization for Learning in the Virtual City of Behrloo

Dividing the case studies into the 3 cateories was a challenge as well.  In general, if a development team used visual thinking techniques at one step, they most likely used them in all steps.  However, we decided to focus on the sections where we felt they demonstrated interesting and best in class techniques.
