- Abstract
In today's world of text messaging and emails, we found that students learn visually as well as aurally. In other words, students are learning from "visual listening" - listening related to reading texts, emails, and tweets. This exploration is a by-product of our earlier investigation of active productive listening as a key element in the process of thinking critically. Students stated, in interactive workshops, that in order for them to listen critically, professors must add visuals to their class presentations, have in depth knowledge of the subject matter, and explain to students why the material in the course is necessary in their "real" day to day lives. Students' perceived need for practical information far exceeded their requirement for abstract knowledge for the future and superseded knowledge that was purely theoretical in nature. Students do not listen unconditionally. This paper explores student learning - listening and "visual listening" in order to think critically.
