Benefits of using image cards to improve learning and development

Most learning professionals are familiar with the benefits of using image cards to improve learning and development experiences. However, too often these tools are underutilised — positioned as just add-ons or nice icebreakers.

In this vibrant interactive session, you will experience how careful and at times, courageous, restructuring of learning session flow will maximise the impact of image cards to create compelling learning readiness, deepen engagement, and motivate behaviour change.

In this session, image card experts, Leonie Cutts and Craig Browne, will share:

  • The great things image cards do for your learner’s brains
  • Positioning real and virtual image card activities in your learning flows for greatest impact
  • The bravery and power of wide-open topics
  • Maximising learner discovery and leveraging their lived experience
