I used to tell people that 66% of the population are visual learners, and that’s why they should hire me to illustrate their educational materials. Recently I saw a video that studies and debunks that “learning styles” theory. The conclusion of that video says that we are all multi-modal learners. That means we learn best when the teaching tools match the task, and when multiple modes of conveying the knowledge are used.

Visual art covers at least two of those multiple modes of teaching, because it’s both visual, and it conveys a story. People’s brains are well attuned to remember stories so a visual story gives you a double whammy.

And if you go with comics as a teaching medium, you’re hitting the reading comprehension mode too, giving you a triple whammy in one item.

Here’s the link to that video: https://youtu.be/rhgwIhB58PA
