Dealing with Visual Learners

I came across this blog post on the Training Day blog. Its written by Jason Allen and is a very nice and concise article on what you need to do to engage visual/spatial learners.

Jason is the Training Manager for Myron Corporation’s Hamilton, Ontario Sales Office. He has been researching learning styles and personality types, and how they impact instructional design, for over a decade.

I’ll give you the first paragraph and the link to the rest of the article. Anyone interested in VisualsSpeak will understand the value of this.
