If not, we\u2019re here to refresh your memory!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VIL is a broad category of educational practices and technologies, covering any learning material which significantly relies on visual communication. As indicated by the name, these learning materials are visually intensive, as opposed to being overly text or audio centric.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you will see in our OER, VIL is more than just the selection and placement of images accompanying text, and in fact sometimes excludes reading entirely. In our OER we break VIL down into the use of:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/adrianwheeler.wixsite.com\/visuallearning\/infographics\">graphics<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/adrianwheeler.wixsite.com\/visuallearning\/video\">videos<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/adrianwheeler.wixsite.com\/visuallearning\/interactive\">interactive graphics<\/a> and<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/adrianwheeler.wixsite.com\/visuallearning\/ar-and-vr\">AR + VR<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Our hope is that this resource will provide some guidance on how and when to use VIL and connect you to some useful tools and resources. Additionally, the discussion questions at the bottom of the <a href=\"https:\/\/adrianwheeler.wixsite.com\/visuallearning\/theory\">\u201cWhy Use VIL?\u201d<\/a>&nbsp; and Exploring VIL pages will help supplement our resource by gleaning information from you and the other experts in our cohort, so please contribute and don\u2019t be shy!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have also added an <a href=\"https:\/\/adrianwheeler.wixsite.com\/visuallearning\/community-vil\">assignment<\/a> where we hope to feature some of the amazing work of our peers, so if you\u2019d like to create a new piece of work, or you\u2019ve ever created a dazzling infographic or visually stimulating video you\u2019d like to share, please send it to us and we will feature it on the site.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have made your way through our resource, please share your feedback below on what worked well for you, what did not, and how you think it could be improved.
