Summary/Abstract: We live in an era of rapid information proliferation, which makes it challenging to retain excessive amounts of data during learning. However, the remarkable capacity of the human brain to store information comes to our assistance in this regard. Therefore, the role of the educator becomes a key factor as they design the instructional process to facilitate memorization. Significant emphasis is placed on visual memory and the methods for compressing information in teaching and learning. An efficient way to enhance the visual recall of input is via graphic representations. Thus, the academic staff must be familiar with and apply these methods during teaching/learning activities. This article outlines a set of graphical representations that allow for the logical structuring of information according to the instructional goals, thus engaging pupils/students in an interactive learning process.
