I'm a Military Maintenance Instructor and conduct class on several platforms, Track, Wheel and Weapon systems. We have all kinds of stuff for visual aids for our students. Most of it is death by powerpoint...LOL :bang: I also believe that a picture is worth a thousand words, that's why I post a lot of visual vs explanatory posts. I find that most of my students learn faster with visual aids and discussion on the finer points.
