E-learning

Thanks to Jenny for the concise and informative article she provided on this topic. One question that arose for me was whether "text" is considered a visual or verbal code in the context of the theory of "Dual encoding"? We certainly see it but our minds also hear it, even though it is not spoken.

Addendum to my own post - having read further on the theory, I follow that the distinction is one of verbal and non-verbal encoding rather than visual and audio as I had assumed. On this basis text would be encoded as verbal.
