Research in recent years particularly in the realm of communication skills in computer technology has supported the argument that students should have multiple skills and forms of communication that encompass the capacity to comprehend and convey information in visual form. This book addresses this concern, by examining specifically how visuals can be utilised in higher education to promote meaningful enriched learning. (Imprint: Nova)
