Center for Visual Learning

Snapshot of a Session

Situation: Two-day symposium for one hundred participants in Monterey, California. Organizers wanted graphics to focus attention on major points. Online copies of meeting murals enabled participants to walk their colleagues back home through the material they learned after the event. Note the use of metaphor, in this case Seeing the forest instead of the trees takes shape with the Monterey cypress which surround the conference center. Breaking themes into telegraphic blocks helps plant them in memory. You may zoom in 2x or 4x to see the mural in more detail.

Benefits: Participants share content and flow of the session with others.
