Abstract

In today’s modern and networked generation, sophisticated graphics are expected for learning. These digital graphics fulfill a number of learning purposes: to direct attention, to provide examples, to offer evidentiary proofs, to set a context, to introduce a personage or character, to offer an affective jolt to increase memory retention, to entertain, and others. Digital graphics work on both subconscious and conscious levels, and these effects will be examined. This chapter will enhance reader awareness of these rich and varied roles and potentially evoke a variety of creative graphical solutions.
