Dunlap, Joanna C.; Lowenthal, Patrick R. – Journal of Visual Literacy, 2016
People learn and remember more efficiently and effectively through the use of text and visuals than through text alone.

Vermeersch, Lode; Vandenbroucke, Anneloes – Journal of Visual Literacy, 2015
Although the paradigm of visual literacy (VL) is rapidly emerging, the construct itself still lacks operational specificity. Based on a semiotic understanding of visual culture as an ongoing process of "making meaning", we present in this study a skill-based classification of VL, differentiating four sets of VL skills: perception;…

Farmer, Lesley S. J. – Journal of Media Literacy Education, 2019
The high profile of fake news reveals underlying trends in the production and consumption of news.

To date, no studies have surveyed…

Wiles, Amy M. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2016
Learning often improves when active learning techniques are used in place of traditional lectures. For many of these techniques, however, students are expected to apply concepts that they have already grasped. A challenge, therefore, is how to incorporate active learning into the classroom of courses with heavy content, such as molecular-based…
