This document provides an overview of visual literacy and communication skills, outlining their importance in everyday life and various fields like media. It discusses how visual literacy allows people to understand and think critically about images, and involves more than just identification skills, requiring higher-level comprehension of visual relationships and contexts. The intent of the course is to expand understanding and use of visual expression across disciplines by examining visual elements, composition strategies, and various media formats for visual communication.
The evolution and importance of visual communicationYiğit Keskin
What we see with our eyes has a profound effect on what we do, how we feel, and who we are. Through experience and experimentation, we continually increase our understanding of the visual world and the way we are influenced by it. Psychologist Albert Mehrabian states that 93% of communication is nonverbal.01 Studies show that the human brain deciphers image elements simultaneously, while language is decoded in a linear, sequential manner taking more time to process. Our minds react completely differently to visual stimuli. Visuals are processed 60,000 times faster than text...

Getting graphic About Infographics: Design Lessons Learned From Popular Infog...Patrick Lowenthal
People learn and remember more efficiently and effectively through the use of text and visuals than through text alone. Infographics are one way of presenting complex and dense informational content in a way that supports cognitive processing, learning, and future recognition and recollection. But the power of infographics is that they are a way of delivering the maximum amount of content in the least amount of space while still being precise and clear; because they are visual presentations as opposed to oral or text presentations, they can quickly tell a story, show relationships, and reveal structure. The following paper reports on an exploration of top 20 “liked” infographics on a popular infographic sharing website in an effort to better understand what makes an effective infographic in order to better prepare graduate students as consumers and designers of infographics. The paper concludes with recommendations and strategies on how educators might leverage the power of infographics in their classrooms.

Using Visuals to Communicate
Regardless of where you work or what your career is, learning how to communicate effectively and professionally is important if you want to succeed. Further, learning how to successfully utilize visualmedia in your communication can dramatically enhance the effectiveness of your message.
As you will learn, preparing and packaging visual communication is critical to the success of the message being delivered! Take a moment to read the instructions for your final project in Week 5. Throughout the next five weeks, you will work on preparing a message of your choice, through the use of effective visual strategies.
For this discussion, identify at least one specific message that you might communicate in the workplace – one that could benefit from the use of visuals. (Note: This can be in either a past, current, or potential future workplace.) For instance, maybe the message involves typing up job-aids and sending them out to your colleagues. Or perhaps it involves delivering a presentation to your boss on your department’s achievements for the previous quarter. Or, maybe it’s related to designing an advertisement for your own business.
Whatever you choose to communicate, address the following items in your post:
· Describe your message in as much detail as possible, being sure to explain what your desired results for the message are.
· Describe the intended audience for your message.
· Explain how you think the use of visuals could help you effectively deliver this message to your audience.
Using Visuals to Communicate
I am still unsure what topic my final project will focus on, but for this discussion I would like to focus on process improvement within an organization. Within my current place of employment, we have seen a rapid increase in personnel and with the growth has come a desire for those more tenured employees to move on throughout the organizations to bigger and better opportunities. However not many of the lower level employees have a clear understanding as to what other opportunities there are within the company and the exact level of skill and education they need to possess to move forward. This leave many feeling dismayed and pessimistic about their future with the company. While it is understandably important for a business to continue to grow, that growth could potentially be in vain in the employees are not performing a peak levels and if they feel underappreciated and over worked. My specific message that I would communicate in the workplace would be that of “Process Improvement and career pathing”, with a targeted audience of Managers, Supervisors, Employees, as well as HR and Corporate. This message would provide a better understanding of the companies’ organizational layout detailing the various positions from top to bottom as well as a breakdown of: job description, desired skills and education. Creating a visualization of the company and the numerous career path will allow a.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
1. LESSON 1
Visual Literacy
TOPICS COVERED
Objective of Visual Communication Skills , Visual Literacy
OBJECTIVES
This lesson will give you an overview of visual communication skills. This knowledge
will be indispensable in whichever field of media you may choose to work in. It will
teach you the importance of observation and is an interactive session where you are
required to participate fully. What do you understand by visual communication? How
important do you think it is in everyday life? (From your morning toothpaste, to the late
night movie..you are surrounded by images,graphics, visuals throughout your life…)
Visual Communication Skills
Rationale:
“If the invention of movable type created a mandate for universal verbal literacy, surely the
invention of the camera and all its collateral and continually developing forms makes the
achievement of universal visual literacy an educational necessity long overdue. Film, television,
visual computers are modern extensions of the designing and making that has historically been a
natural capability of all human beings and now seems to have been isolated from human
experience.”
2. Intent of Course:
To open up a broader knowledge of some of the essential characteristics of that intelligence, this
course proposes to examine the basic visual elements,principles, strategies and options of the
visual techniques, the psychological and physiological implications of creative composition, and
the range of media and formats that can be appropriately categorized under the heading of visual
arts and communication. This process is the beginning of a rational investigation and analysis
designed to expand the under-standing and utilization of visual expression. Even if you don’t
intend to be an art director, typographer, photojournalist, creative director, stylist or designer, if
you work in journalism or communications it is likely you’ll be making decisions (or working
with those who make decisions) involving visual communication. At the very least, this
information should prove useful to you as a consumer of visual messages and communication.
Visual communication serves a purpose greater than decoration. It is an important tool for
effective communication. The organization of information on the screen can make difference
between a message users and that leaves users feeling puzzled or overwhelmed.
Even the best application functionality can suffer and be underused if the visual presentation
does not communicate it well. We choose what we read and how we think about information by
its appearance and organisation. We read a screen in the same way we read other forms of
information. The eye is always attracted to coloured elements before black and white elements,
to isolated elements before elements in group, and to graphics before text. We even read text by
scanning the shapes of groups of letters.
Visual literacy is the ability to see, to understand, and ultimately to think, create, and
communicate graphically. Generally speaking, the visually literate viewer looks at an image
carefully, critically, and with an eye for the intentions of the image’s creator. Those skills can be
applied equally to any type of image: photographs, paintings and drawings, graphic art
(including everything from political cartoons to comic books to illustrations in children’s books),
films, maps, and various kinds of charts and graphs. All convey information and ideas, and
visual literacy allows the viewer to gather the information and ideas contained in an image, place
them in context, and determine whether they are valid.
3. Like traditional literacy, visual literacy encompasses more than one level of skill. The first level
in reading is simply decoding words and sentences, but reading comprehension is equally (if not
more) important. That understanding requires broad vocabulary, experience in a particular
content area, and critical thought, and teachers have various approaches and strategies to help
students build contextual understanding of what they read.
The first level of visual literacy, too, is simple knowledge: basic identification of the subject or
elements in a photograph, work of art, or graphic. The skills necessary to identify details of
images are included in many disciplines; for example, careful observation is essential to
scientific inquiry. But while accurate observation is important, understanding what we see and
comprehending visual relationships are at least as important. These higher-level visual literacy
skills require critical thinking, and they are essential to a student’s success in any content area in
which information is conveyed through visual formats such as charts and maps. They are also
beneficial to students attempting to make sense of the barrage of images they may face in texts
and Web resources.
Visual literacy skills are already employed in a variety of disciplines. Observation, as we’ve
noted, is integral to science. Critique, useful in considering what should be included in an essay
in Language Arts, is also a part of examining a visual image. Deconstruction, employed in
mathematical problem solving, is used with images to crop and evaluate elements and how they
relate to the whole. Discerning point of view or bias is important in analyzing advertisements and
works of art.
Specific visual formats require specific approaches to visual understanding. Information
contained in various types of images, to analyze that information, and to use those types of
images to build their visual communication skills.
Visuals with Messages attempts to explore several questions. Since the widespread use of
Gutenberg’s printing press, there has always been the cultural assumption that information is best
communicated through written formats. But since the invention of the computer and desktop
publishing, the role of visual messages in the communication process is expanding.
Much of the information in the book will be new to you. Such a predicament is not your fault
because you have been raised to consider words mainly as the most important form of human
communication. This book is an attempt, as many others have tried, to even up the score between
words and images. It is important to understand, however, that an emphasis on visual messages
for this course does NOT mean that words are considered less important than images.
The most powerful, meaningful and culturally important messages are those that combine
words and pictures in equally respectful ways.
Visual Communication is an exploration into the idea that memorable visual messages with text
have the greatest power to inform, educate and persuade an individual.
