What is Ways of Knowing

Instructional designers create learning about subjects about which they are non-experts and outsiders. Using formal and informal visuals to learn about a field will shed light on aspects of a discipline and its related professions and overarching domain. The imagery may offer a path to learning that may be more accessible than through other modalities at least initially, and these images may be a gateway to further research and learning (textually). Here, using visuals is shown to complement other modes of learning about a field.
