Abstract
We report on two tests we performed in Hong Kong and Shanghai to verify the hypothesis that one can learn better when being given access to visualizations beyond the standard verbal explanations in a classroom. The outcome of the first test at HKUST was inconclusive, while the second test at Fudan University showed a clear advantage for those students who had access to visualizations.
