AUDIO-

VISUALS
WHAT ARE AUDIO – VISUALS?

•Audio-visuals (AV) is a mode of materials

for instruction which is described by the
delivery and the use of instructional content
that involves sound (auditory stimuli) and
sight (visual stimuli).
PURPOSE OF AUDIO – VISUALS
• Best motivation.
• Clear image.
• Save energy and time.
• Antidote of the disease of verbal instructions.
• Capture attention.
• Reinforcement to learner.
• Positive transfer of learning.
• Gain & hold student interest.
• Increase understanding and retention.
• Stimulate the development of understanding and attitudes
NEED FOR AUDIO - VISUALS
1) Every individual has the tendency to forget. Proper use of
teaching aids helps to retain more concept permanently.
2) Students can learn better when they are motivated properly
through different teaching aids.
3) Audio – visuals develop the proper image when the
students see, hear, taste and smell properly.
4) Audio – visuals provide complete example for conceptual
thinking.
5) Audio – visuals create the environment of interest for the
students.
6) Audio – visuals help to increase the vocabulary of the
students.
7) Audio – visuals help the teacher to get sometime and make
learning permanent.
8) Audio – visuals provide direct experience to the students.
THE ROLE OF AUDIO - VISUALS IN
EDUCATION
• Students will gain knowledge of the latest in evolving
theoretical and practical application in the communication
field utilizing various resources and methods of inquiry.
• Students will grow intellectually in their oral and written
communication and critical thinking skills.
• Student will become aware of the ethical and spiritual
implications of communication on a diverse and global
level.
 FUNCTIONS OF AUDIO - VISUALS
• They supply a concrete basis for conceptual thinking and hence, reduce
meaningless word response of students.
• They have high degree of interest for students.
• They make learning more permanent.
• They offer a reality of experience which stimulate self activity on the part of
pupil.
• Develop continuity of thougth; this is especially true of motion pictures.
• They provide experience not easily obtained through other materials and
contribute to the efficiency, depth and variety of learning
LIMITATIONS OF USING AUDIO – VISUALS

• Decreases teacher’s autonomy in the classroom

• For effective functioning of the audio-visual aids
the trained experts are required which is not
possible all the time
 ADVANTAGES OF AUDIO - VISUALS
1. Help to make the learning process more effective and conceptual.
2. Help to grab the attention of targeted audience.
3. Build interest and motivation.
4. Enhance the energy level of teaching.
5. Provide a realistic approach and experience
6. Easy to follow
7. Learners feel more engaged
8. Easier to explain or put things in perspective
9. Easier to remember
10. Helps keep mistakes at a minimum
DISADVANTAGES OF USING AUDIO -
VISUALS
1. Technical problems
2. Expensive
3. Time-consuming
4. Need space
5. It is easier to lose focus
6. Requires a well designed presentation or material
7. Participants might pay more attention to the graphics than the audio
DIGITAL MEDIA
•Digital media is any form
of media that uses electronic devices
for distribution. This form
of media can be created, viewed,
modified and distributed via
electronic devices.
•Examples of digital media include
software, digital images, digital video,
video games, web pages and websites,
social media, digital data and
databases, digital audio such as MP3,
electronic documents and electronic
books.
 LECTURE
RECORDING
•A lecture recording provides an
audio and visual record which
students can repeat as many
times as they need. Any part of
a lecture can be found easily
and played back.
 BENEFITS OF
LECTURE
It’sRECORDING
ideal for distance learning students,
part-time students and international students
All undergraduates and post-graduates with
access to recorded lectures like to be able to
revisit or catch up on lectures
Increase student perception of
support
Viewing recorded material provides
more opportunities for interaction
during class time
 DISADVANTAGES
OF LECTURE
RECORDING
Staffs’ confidence and worries about being
recorded
Some may say that the technology is
limiting
Infrastructure issues to meet rising
acceptance
TV CLIPS/YOU TUBE
Videos must be used as a facet of
instruction along with other
resource material available to you
for teaching a particular topic.
ADVANTAGES OF TV
CLIPS/YOU TUBE
It gives students concept clarity, as
everything can be visualized and
explained in detail.
Visuals tend to be more interesting
and engaging, when compared to text.
Students who are good visual learners
have a lot of advantages studying from
videos. They can learn more efficiently.
It helps retain and maintain interest
for longer periods of time.
It provides an innovative and effective
means for educators to address and
deliver the required curriculum content.
Videos are mostly very
demonstration-friendly.
Videos create experiences.
It acts as a flexible teaching
medium.
It gives instant notes.
DISADVANTAGES OF
TV CLIPS/YOU TUBE
Playing video can use a lot of the bandwidth and
may take time to load.
The video could be a distraction if the structure of
the video is not aligned to what needs to be taught.
It is hard and time consuming to find quality
videos.
 TAKE - AWAY
• The importance of audio visuals (AV) in education should
not be underestimated. There are two reasons for this; one,
learning via AV creates a stimulating and interactive
environment which is more conducive to learning; two, we
live in an audio-visual age which means that having the
skills to use AV equipment is integral to future employment
prospects. Therefore exposure to AV technology in
education is imperative.
