Using Visual Metaphors as Teaching and Learning Tools

The instructor wanted to create a community of learners who would learn deeply, in a short amount of time, by teaching one another through the use of what the instructor calls “Visual Metaphors”. Visual Metaphors (VMs) are physical, three-dimensional representations of lecture elements or theses statements adapted from museum diorama practices combined with elements of multisensory learning and teaching techniques and design activities. They can be interactive or static, adapted to the needs of the lecture or presentation.
