What is Visual Literacy?
What does it mean to be visually literate or fluent? The definitions vary. For some it means the ability to create and interpret visual messages. For others it's a group of competencies developed around sensory experiences that enable the communication of ideas and concepts. John Seely Brown, cofounder of the Institute for Research on Learning, calls it "screen language for the new currency of learning."
