Training Visual Learners
Good visual aids can help trainers more effectively illustrate key concepts to increase understanding. Here's a few tips for training visual learners:
- Let your visuals help your presentation, not be your presentation.
- Present visuals only when you are ready to use them.
- Put visuals away when you're finished with them.
- Rehearse with your visuals.
- Test all audio-visual equipment before using it.
- Avoid getting between your visuals and your participants (Use a laser pointer!).
- Write on flipcharts and white-boards.
- Use a pointer of some kind for finding important items on the screen.
- Avoid moving the equipment while you're using it.
- Be careful not to use too much animation on slides.
