Using the Power of Visuals in LX

What image comes to your mind when you think of the 4th of July holiday? Did you think about flags, fireworks, something else? What if someone asked you to think about a song that reminds you of a holiday? Did you have a visual image come to mind first before the song?

The following article succinctly discusses the advantages of visual learning.

“Images are the simplest and the most effective way to make sure that the information gets stored as a long-term memory. As per Dr. Lynell Burmark, an education consultant, our short term memory processes words and can only retain about seven bits of information. Whereas, images are directly processed by our long-term memory, where they get indelibly etched.”

Hi @Roxann! As someone who is passionate about AI, have you tried any of the AI image generating tools like [DALL-E 2](https://openai.com/dall-e-2)? I could definitely see tools like this being very useful for creating images for courses. 👍
