If you are interested in how people use multimedia to think, learn, and communicate, it is good to know about the concept of visual literacy.

Visual Literacy.Org provides two on-line tutorials about visualization. You can log-on to the tutorials as a guest:

Visualization for Business and Communication

Visualization for Engineering and Communication

Information from the website:

"This e-learning site focuses on a critical, but often neglected skill for business, communication, and engineering students, namely visual literacy, or the ability to evaluate, apply, or create conceptual visual representations. After this tutorial, students should be able to evaluate advantages and disadvantages of visual representations, to improve their shortcomings, to use them to create and communicate knowledge, or to devise new ways of representing insights."

For further reading, Visual Literacy.Org provides an interactive map of books on the topic:
