  • Title: Visual literacy in the online environment.
    Author: Mixer SJ, McFarland MR, McInnis LA.
    Journal: Nurs Clin North Am; 2008 Dec; 43(4):575-82, vii. PubMed ID: 18940414.
    Abstract:
    Visual literacy combines words and graphics to enhance learning. Students are immersed in digital literacy and multimodal learning; therefore, it is important for educators to embrace visual literacy and strike out beyond printed text, PowerPoint slides, and discussion boards. This article describes the use of visual literacy as a tool to enhance student learning. An example demonstrating the application of visual literacy to teach transcultural nursing in an online environment is provided. The Web site containing a copy of the visual literacy teaching tool is also available to readers.
