The use of visual aids in teaching is a practice well established in the education literature and teaching pedagogy. Visuals tend to enhance the content's comprehensibility and simplify complex processes.

Most of these platforms provide pre-made templates that you can use to build your visual. I have already featured some of these tools in previous posts. Check them out here:
