Your learning style is the way you absorb and assimilate information. People have different learning styles depending on how their brains work during learning. Four different learning styles are identified as visual, auditory, read & write and kinesthetic styles. Each has distinct advantages and disadvantages, which can help you recognize the most suitable learning style for specific subjects or situations. Some subjects or situations also require you to adopt a style different from your natural learning style.

Visual Learning Style

People who learn best through visual aids have a visual learning style. Visual aids include facial expressions and gesticulations of teachers, pictures, texts with illustrations, DVDs and more. Visual learners think and learn in pictures. Distinct advantages to being a visual learner include creating clear charts and graphs to express concepts and having strong spatial skills that can guide in mapping directions or mapping concept structures. However, a special disadvantage of the visual learning style is the difficulty experienced when visual aids aren't available and only texts and speeches are used in the learning process.

Auditory Learning Style

Some people prefer to learn by hearing what they want to learn. Theirs is the auditory learning style. To learn, such people would prefer listening to discussions, talking matters over, reading out of texts or making use of e-courses containing audio recordings. One special advantage of this style is that you assimilate and retain information without having to see it in texts or pictures. However, the difficulty of learning among silently reading learners - in a library, for example - is one disadvantage.

Read & Write Learning Style

If you learn best by reading texts or writing down notes from what you read, see or hear; then you are defined as a read & write (R&W) learner. R&W learners need writing materials to take down points they think are important from what they read, hear or see. The R&W style has the advantage of making students more independent. With note-taking, they can learn and retain more of the concepts on their own with a learning style that works for them. However, they also face the disadvantage of not being able to learn easily with only visual or audio instruction or where they do not have access to writing materials.

Kinesthetic Learning Style

Kinesthetic learners prefer to learn by moving and doing. They prefer interactive learning, learning through practical challenges and hands-on experience and taking in information as they move from one place to another. Kinesthetic learners, therefore, are not comfortable sitting in a place for long. The Kinesthetic learning style has the advantage of exposing learners faster to practice and evidence: You learn as you practice and practice what you learn; you see the evidence of what you had digested with difficulty from texts or discussions. If a kinesthetic learning environment isn't available, students may be at a disadvantage because their need for kinesthetic movement makes the classroom setting uncomfortable and contrary to their learning style.

Understanding The Power Of Visuals: The Advantages Of Visual Learning
Which of the following will appeal to a student more?

Textual description of a chemical process.

A video or pictorial representation of that chemical process.

A majority will learn better with the second option. It's simply because visuals hold more appeal than plain text to those curious and intuitive young minds.

Till date, several studies have been conducted which prove the power of visual aids in eLearning. And there are some interesting results drawn from them. Such as, learners respond to visual information faster as compared to text only materials. Also, visuals help improve learning tremendously and on multiple levels. Hence, around 65% of the population comprises visual learners.

There are several advantages of visual aids. Let's learn what they are to help you better understand the power of visuals in eLearning:

1. Help Store Information Longer

Images are the simplest and the most effective way to make sure that the information gets stored as a long-term memory. As per Dr. Lynell Burmark, an education consultant, our short term memory processes words and can only retain about seven bits of information. Whereas, images are directly processed by our long-term memory, where they get indelibly etched.

2. Make Communication Quicker And Simpler

Information listed in bullets is no doubt simpler to process. But, that same information in the form of an image or a video is processed even more quickly. As per the Visual Teaching Alliance -

Of all the information transmitted to brain, 90% is visual.

As opposed to text, visuals are processed 60,000x faster.

Humans are capable of getting the sense of a visual scene in less than 1/10th of a second.

40% of nerve fibres are linked to the retina.

Our brain can see images that last for only 13 milliseconds.

Human eye can register 36,000 visual messages every hour.

Hence, the eLearning programs which incorporate suitable visuals gain a higher preference over the text-only ones.

3. Aid Better Comprehension

Visuals help learners grasp concepts easily by stimulating imagination and affecting their cognitive capabilities. Besides, the visual language is also known to have the potential to stretch 'human bandwidth' - which comprises absorbing, comprehending and analysing new information. For example, the infographic below represents how we are pre-wired to automatically interpret relationships between objects which ensures instant comprehension with almost zero effort:

4. Act As Stimulators For Emotions

Emotions and visual information are processed in the same part of the human brain. Visual stimuli and emotional response are linked in a simple way and these two together generate what we call memories. Hence, powerful images and visual metaphors create strong impressions and lasting memories in learners.

5. Drive Motivation

Most of the students struggle with some of their subjects because they find them uninteresting and hence lack the motivation to put in the required efforts. Visuals are the best bet in such scenarios. Captivating images, engaging videos, interesting info graphics, etc. help learners fight the boredom and motivate them to do better.

6. Unsuitable Visuals Equals Unhappy Learners

The positive aspects of visuals hold true only when they are used appropriately. The quality and relevance of visuals matter a lot. Say for example, you have the most meaningful images, charts and videos which make your online tutorial way better than those of your competitors. But, if the images are of low resolution or pixelated, they fail to solve their purpose and the learner loses interest. Apart from poor quality, if the visual aids are generic in nature and fail to explain the subject in a specific and clear way, it will not appeal to the learners.

The images which will add value to your course material and actually help the learners should meet the following requirements:

Simplify the difficult-to-understand and text heavy topics.

Explain using actual people, places, or objects.

Help the learners connect the familiar materials with the unfamiliar.

Hence, the key is to treat visuals like power boosters for your eLearning courses. If irrelevant they can cause distractions from the actual topic and in worst case scenarios, put off your audience. But, if used effectively, it can add value to your online tutorials and draw more learners to your online education platform.
