As teachers, we have access to literally millions of high quality, freely-availably images thanks to resources such as Pixabay and Unsplash. In this episode we dig into the impactful use of visual metaphors in teaching with guest Dr Richard Cotterill, who shares insights from his recent research. Rich argues that visual metaphors can make abstract concepts more comprehensible for students. We explore the challenges and benefits of incorporating images into lectures, the importance of simplifying content, and practical techniques for educators.
