Effective teaching and learning 

Effective teaching and learning takes place when a variety of teaching strategies are provided in the classroom and when the emphasis is on gaining understanding rather than just right answers.  Different methods are appropriate for different areas of knowledge.

Students have different learning preferences i.e. some are more visual learners, some like working in groups, some prefer the written word.

A monotonous diet of the same teaching style will cause even the most keen student to lost interest.

The need for variety

Effective learning activities are those that require students to process information rather than transfer information or answer questions without understanding.

Therefore a good visual display should highlight the“variety”of your learning objective.
