Visual learning is a method to teach thinking skills: the techniques based on visual learning – the graphical association of ideas, concepts, data, images, multimedia and other information to convey meaning – educate students to think with clarity, to process, organize, and prioritize new information. Diagrams reveal models, interrelationships and interdependencies and also stimulate creative and critical thinking.

Knowledge management strategies integrate with visual learning through map animation (animated paths with voice), categorization (with meaningful use of color and shape) and perception is stimulated with voice. This "intelligent" approach has a direct incidence in motivation and learning, transcending the usual visual experiences. Besides transferring basic information, and enabling learners to see relations, structures, models and features that otherwise wouldn't be evident, our strategies appeal to student's basic perceptive faculties and processes.

Knowledge Master integrates visual learning with knowledge management methods and strategies to ease understanding and the creation of new knowledge. With Knowledge Master students create and structure knowledge bases, concept maps, idea maps, webs and other graphic organizers, aided by state-of-the-art learning technology. A multilingual interface with customizable voice support makes KM suitable also for language learning and to ease learning of children that "learn some other way", like dyslexics, ADD, Asperger, those with working memory problems, etc. In KM voice is not only used to read text, but also as a cognitive service.
