Interactive Representations of Information and Knowledge

It’s the lasting effect that counts for learning.

Indeed, this module of study has been thought provoking. For example, one of the earlier observations was that the visuals and graphics in our everyday communication were manipulated.

Of course, the map is not the territories and representations are ‘representations’ – They are not the real things.

But what I mean is that the images that keep bombarding us everyday and everywhere are mostly distorted for a certain purpose (or purposes).

We need not just the skills to create and use images to communicate but also the ability to interpret them critically.

We need visual literacy in a broader sense.
