Learning Strategies
In order to be able to control your individual learning process, you will learn something about learning strategies and their respective strategies in this learning module...
What are the benefits of structuring and visualisation?
As in the case of the activation of pre-existing knowledge, structuring and visualisation are basic strategies that can make learning easier in a variety of ways. A large number of methods are available, with the following examples selected for presentation in this module:
Chunking
Mind Maps
Concept Maps
Multimedia-based learning

Structuring & Visualisation - How and why
All methods of structuring and visualisation essentially pursue the same objectives:
It also offers another benefit: During the arrangement, structuring and visualisation of the learning content the learner simultaneously “pre-learns” and enhances their depth of processing. This supports the expansion of the semantic network in their brain and ensures that potential problems are identified – and dealt with – at the earliest possible stage.
- The streamlining of learning content down to the most important aspects, thus lending greater clarity to an otherwise potentially overwhelming amount of information.
- The selection of headings and structures that serve as retrieval cues.
