Visual thinking is a learning style where the learner better understands and retains information when ideas, words and concepts are associated with images. Research tells us that the majority of students need to see information in order to learn it. Some common visual learning strategies include creating mind maps, concept maps, webbing, graphic organisers, outlining and more.
Inspiration 9 is the leading visual learning and thinking tool in schools, colleges and universities in the UK and globally and provides you with a class leading mind mapping solution to promote and sell to your customers.
