Currently, few resources exist to help education decision makers differentiate high-quality research from weaker research and promotional claims. As a decision-making tool, the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) helps the education community locate and recognize credible and reliable evidence to make informed decisions."

This paper proposes that the writing problems of such visual thinkers derive from three factors: a lack of words, unfamiliarity with the kind of analysis that leads to the logical sequencing of prose, and difficulty understanding that context must be communicated.
