Study Tip - Week 36

Are You a Visual Learner?

The tip from week 6 suggested that you use colored highlighters when reading your textbooks to enhance your learning. Here are some more suggestions for visual learners.

  • Visualize (picture) in your mind the words you need to learn to spell.
  • Create mind maps, charts, and tables to show relationships between one thing and another (for example, comparing disease symptoms or the bones in the hands and feet). Note: A Google search--making “mind maps”—will bring up sites to help you learn how to construct a mind map and links to other visual learning tools.
  • Use circles and boxes to isolate key words and concepts in your reading (you can even make them different colors).
  • Draw your own illustrations and label them.
  • Use the Google image search to find illustrations relevant to your studies.
  • Use YouTube and Google to search for videos and PowerPoint presentations on the topics you’re studying.
  • Take notes and make outlines for readings and lectures (this combines visual and tactile learning styles).

No one is a completely visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner. Read all the tips for learning styles and combine those tactics that work best for you.
