A general overview of the discussion:
We participated in threaded discussions about the importance of visual display, and techniques for communicating content and ideas visually and how we can use effective visual communication techniques to accomplish quite a lot, like to establish relevance and meaning, arouse interest and excitement, convey information about structure and expectations, and so.
We thought about our visual display and communication ideas for our own EdWebs and if we had any a-ha thoughts about how navigation
An excerpt of my most valuable contribution to the discussion:
I kicked off the discussion with posting what my is about, "Many residents and nurses need to rapidly adapt and learn new Information Technology to deliver patient care. This learning curve creates a huge training demand as new clinical applications are implemented frequently and new blocks of residents rotate into and out of the Hospital every month. Having "savvy" nurses who are certified expert users of the applications can help train the residents, and not so computer "savvy" nurses, on how to use the applications to deliver better and safer patient care."
What struck me the most about the readings and was my most valuable contribution was the statistics out of Driscoll that stated 83% learning comes via sight and 11% audio.
An explanation of why I consider it my best contribution:
People in my discussion thread were also stuck by the just how much of our learning comes from sight! I think it gave my fellow discussion partners a concrete idea of just how important a good visual layout can benefit the learning process and how important a good visual layout can determine a learning design's success or its failure, and who wants to spend hundreds of hours building something people can't benefit from anyway!?
