 Visual effects or animated pictorials can play an important role in the learning process.
Visual effects facilitate comprehension and retention by using organizational and structural elaborations.
Simple line drawings, cartoons, charts, and diagrams are among popular visual effects in teaching and learning.
Visual effects can be in the form of the following illustration types:
- Diagrams that illustrate conceptual relationships, organization, and structure of content material.
- Graphic organizers, which show representations of relationships between concepts.
- Graphic presentations such as tables and charts that facilitate learning information.

The most important principles for the use of visuals effects are:
- Keep visual effects as simple as possible.
- Design the visual effects to emphasize the target information.
- Avoid imbalance in size, shape, and color.
- Emphasize clarity and be appealing.
- Projected visual effects must be legible and easy to see and understand.
