How to find the best visual analogy?
Follow there 5 principles:
1. It looks familiar to most of people
2. It has a structure
3. It matches your narrative’s structure
4. It is visible (something that can be seen)

By Jason Toal
Mapping the System - with Visuals
In a world of information overload, visual communication can be a powerful means of making your content more accessible and engaging to learners. In this hands on workshop, you will experience some basic drawing exercises and explore strategies for applying them to lightboard video creation and other visual media. Participants will practice short, simple drawing activities that you and your students can use to engage with course material in visual ways. No previous drawing experience needed.
