More on Visual Knowledge Building

The creation, testing as well as the improvement of conceptual artifact. It is not confined to education but applis to creative knowledge work of all kinds.

Also, a combination of two definitions which are called Visual Knowledge Building and Visual Communication.

On one hand we have the Knowledge Building theory that states and describes what a group of learning people need to accomplish to create knowledge. On the other hand Visual Communication as the name suggests deals with communication using visual aids.

My first impression of VKB at the beginning of this minor:
My first understanding of the term Visual Knowdledge Building was the ability to develop knowledge by visual means. However, there have been many theories and ongoing discussions about wat visual knowledge really is, and until today it still is somewhat sketchy to me. Earlier on I posted that "In simpel terms, one may say vkb can be defined as the ability to accumulate knowledge through visual aids. But it is definetly ot the only way of building knowledge. It is safe to say that visual aids are often supported by text which enhances and/or helps to build knowledge.
The traditional way of knowledge building used to be, for example, by lectures or by literature. Whereas in modern day studies, information is often supported by images and not only provided in the form of text of spoken word (for example: a PowerPoint presentation). Besides the fact that digital natives have access to anything at anytime, they are not very fond of only reading literature but also looking at images, therefore visual aids play a crucial role in knowledge building.
