Traditional module delivery in higher education often follows a linear structure, which is not always conducive to understanding concepts and the many possible relationships between them. In this paper we introduce an online visual interactive learning resource called ViLO designed to address this problem. We describe the principles guiding the development of ViLO, early evaluation results and our plans for future work.
