    Study Notes

    Audio-Visual Media

    • The main types of audio-visual media are:
      • Writing boards
      • Flipcharts
      • OHP transparencies
      • 35 mm slides
      • Videotapes
      • Models/real objects/samples/shapes
      • Audiotapes
      • Audio-conferencing
      • Video-conferencing
      • Digital projectors
      • Smart classrooms
      • Computers (software and storage media)
      • The Internet

    Flipcharts

    • To effectively use flipcharts, use:
      • Wide-tipped pens or markers
      • Large block letters
      • Different colored pens
      • Headings, boxes, cartoons, and borders
      • Bullets to delineate items on the page
      • Leave plenty of white space
    • Advantages of flipcharts:
      • Available in most training rooms
      • Easy to move from room to room
      • Do not require electricity
      • Several may be used simultaneously
      • Easy to use and inexpensive
      • Suitable for use by trainers and participants
      • Excellent for brainstorming, problem solving, making lists
      • Pages can be prepared in advance
      • Pages can be removed and taped on the walls

    Transparencies

    • Advantages of transparencies:
      • The projector is simple to use
      • Can be used in almost any training room with electricity
      • Can be used with the classroom lights on
      • Can be prepared in advance to save time
      • Are inexpensive
      • Can be prepared quickly and easily
      • Can be used repeatedly
    • Disadvantages of transparencies:
      • Cannot project text and images directly from the printed page
      • Be careful not to block the participants' view of the screen
    • To produce transparencies, use:
      • Pens to create text or drawings on plastic or acetate sheets
      • A copy machine with transparency film designed for copiers
      • A computer and printer
    • When preparing transparencies:
      • Limit the information to one main idea and about 5-6 lines of large type
      • Use large lettering
      • Print text
      • Make graphics and drawings large enough to be seen
      • Mount transparencies in frames or insert them in plastic pockets
      • Number the transparencies
      • Store the transparencies in a box, envelope, or a "pocket" made from folders or plastic

    Using the Overhead Projector

    • When using the overhead projector:
      • Locate and check the operation of the on/off switch
      • Have an extra projector bulb
      • Focus the projector and check the position of the image
      • Turn the projector on after the transparency is placed on the glass
      • Turn off the projector before removing the transparency
      • Move away from the projector so participants can see
      • Face the participants, not the screen, while talking
      • Show one point at a time
      • Use a pointer or pencil to focus attention
      • Allow plenty of time for the participants to read what is on the screen

    Slides

    • Advantages of slides:
      • Relatively inexpensive and easy to produce
      • Can be made locally by the trainer
      • Are good for showing individual steps of a procedure or close-ups of equipment
      • Can be shown in a fairly light room
      • Can be used with audiotapes to produce a slide show with narration
    • Disadvantages of slides:
      • Slide projectors are much more expensive than overhead projectors
      • Slide projectors are more fragile than overhead projectors and do not tolerate voltage fluctuations as well
      • Slides are not updated as easily or produced as inexpensively as transparencies
    • When preparing slides:
      • Limit each slide to one main idea
      • Text slides should be short and concise
      • No more than 35 words (approximately five lines of text)
      • Legibility of the material on the slide is crucial
      • Number the slides in pencil or pen on the mounting frame
      • Mark or "spot" slides before placing in the tray

    Using the Slide Projector

    • When using the slide projector:
      • Arrange the room so all participants can see the screen
      • Set up and test the slide projector
      • Make sure there is an extra projector bulb
      • Locate the focus control, check the focus, and position the image on the screen
      • Run through all the slides in advance
      • Determine if all or some of the lights can be left on
      • During the presentation, avoid rushing through a series of slides

    Videotapes

    • Advantages of using videotapes:
      • Capture events the eye alone would not see
      • Steps of a procedure or technique can be shown by slowing down the videotape
      • Videotapes provide better color and detail
      • Videotapes can be prepared by the trainer to reflect local conditions

    Writing Boards

    • Advantages of the writing board:
      • Available in most training rooms
      • Does not require electricity
      • Easy to use and inexpensive
      • Suitable for use by both clinical trainers and participants
      • Excellent for brainstorming, problem solving, making lists, and other participatory activities
    • Disadvantages of the writing board:
      • The board cannot hold a large amount of material
      • Writing on the board is time-consuming
      • It is difficult to write on the board and talk to the participants
      • The board can get messy
      • There is no permanent record of information presented
    • Tips for the writing board:
      • Keep the board clean
      • Use chalk or pens that can be seen
      • Make text and drawings large enough to be seen by all
      • Prepare complex drawings in advance
      • Underline headings and important or unfamiliar words
