Advantages and Disadvantages of Visual Media
Visual information is useful for a variety of reasons. A visual aid is helpful to present information to

Summary
Visual information may take the form of photographs, visual aids, and other
displays that use pictures to convey ideas. Visuals may either be images or
graphics. In the aspect of learning, visual information may be useful because
of the features and functions of pictorial messages with respect to printed
text.
z
Despite the limitations in the use of visual information and media, you
cannot dismiss the fact that visuals are powerful in conveying messages in
conjunction with other media modalities such as text, audio, and
multimedia. But you must also be on guard on how you utilize visuals to
address your information needs.
My Lesson Takeaway
Write a reflection (minimum of one paragraph, maximum of three paragraphs) about Visual
Information and Media. Please observe the manner of expression and legibility of writing.
