Learning visual literacy through on-line discussions - William T. McInnish, Vivian H. Wright, Electronic Journal for the Integration of Tech in Ed
This research focused on using on-line discussion groups to teach visual literacy. What gains are or are not being made through the application of on-line discussions to teach visual literacy? Also, what are students' perceptions of the effectiveness of on-line discussion groups in this discipline? Data from student interviews, an on-line survey of student perceptions, and discussion postings from the class were analyzed. The data indicated that on-line discussion groups could teach visual literacy theories and concepts; however, on-line discussions were not helpful in the students’ group project of applying the visual concepts learned to complete a web-site creation assignment. Introduction Many have debated the definition of visual literacy.
