The main idea behind Dual Coding is that we learn better from pictures and words than from words alone. Yet, it is so much more than that.

How can our understanding of the working memory and its limitations help us in the classroom? How can we present information in a way that overcomes the limitations of the working memory and enables increased retrieval and storage strength?

The Dual Coding Workbook has been created to support experts in growing their understanding of how we learn and how we can make the best decisions to create optimum conditions for learning.

The booklet is aimed at educators looking to develop their understanding of cognitive science: exploring definitions of learning and our understanding of how we learn. It is also aimed at those wanting to develop their art of delivery in making effective choices for the presentation of information. This booklet references key thinkers around dual coding and their seminal texts. It aims to give a summary and overview of theory, and to provide a bridge into understanding practical application in school and classroom environments.

The booklet covers:

• The Mental Model of Learning 

• Cognitive Load Theory 

• Reducing Extraneous Load 

• An overview of Dual Coding Theory 

• An overview of the Visual Argument 
