Educational Image Categories

Posted on 6/25/2009 by Jim Pickerell | Printable Version | Comments (0)

The following is a list of general categories of imagery that are often used by educational publishers. This list is used by the Universal Images Groups and by Encyclopaedia Britannica in categorizing images for their purposes. In one sense the list might be viewed as covering all types of imagery, but if you think of each category in terms of images that might have an educational application you see that many images that might broadly fit into the category will have little or no education value.

This list is provided with the hope that it will help those interested in producing images that might be of use for educational purposes.
