In Computer Science, particularly in Software Engineering and Software Measurement, the level of abstraction and complexity of some concepts is very high. That implies a difficulty for the students when they try to assimilate those concepts because in many cases they cannot make mental associations between the idea and a real image. With the development and use of new learning techniques such as visual learning, the assimilation of these software measurement concepts could be facilitate by the use of a more intuitive way than traditional resources, improving learning results and in consequence academic results. To validate this hypothesis, CuBIT Software Measurement Laboratory developed a software functional size visual course and carried out an experiment at the University of Alcalá, Spain, comparing the traditional teaching methods with the use of these visual learning techniques. The results of this experiment, presented in this paper, indicate that the use of visual learning techniques could improve the learning process.
