-- to show application or usage of theoretical knowledge

-- to increase the sensory stimuli & cater to other senses besides mundane reading notes / listening to lecturer/teacher. This also improves memory, retention & recall ; & the focus shifts from mere Intellectual learning to Multiple Intelligence involving many other senses & skills

-- to form stronger Associations between lecture content & visual depiction

-- to depict graphs, data, tables, diagrams, etc.

-- to dramatise ; also very helpful in music, dramatics, creative arts, etc. etc.
