Try to avoid overloading slides with excess of information and numbers.

Practice is the key to succeed. ‘Practice makes a man perfect’, therefore it is essential to rehearse the topic well prior to its presentation.

AUDIO VISUALPRESENTATIONS

WHAT IS AN AUDIO VISUAL

PRESENTATION?

Is delivering an address to a public audience The act or process of making speeches in public “The art of effective oral communication with an

audience.” It could be also a short talk on a set topic given

to a tutorial or seminar group.

ADVANTAGESOF AUDIO VISUAL PRESENTATION

Best Motivators They are the best motivators. Students work with more interest and zeal. They

are more attentive.

Fundamental to Verbal Instructions They help to reduce verbalism which is a major weakness of our schools. They

convey the same meaning as words mean. They give clear concepts and thus help to bring accuracy in learning.

Clear Images Clear images are formed when we see, hear, touch, taste and smell as our

experiences are direct, concrete and more or less permanent. Learning through the senses becomes the most natural and consequently the easiest.

ADVANTAGESOF AUDIO VISUAL PRESENTATION (CONT.)

Freedom The use of audio-visual aids provide various occasions for the pupil to move

about, talk, laugh and comment upon. Under such an atmosphere the students work because they want to work and not because the teacher wants them to work.

Opportunities to Handle and Manipulate The use of audio-visual aids provides immense opportunities to the pupils to

see, handle and manipulate things.

Variety Audio-Visual aids provide variety and provide different tool s in the hands of the

teacher.

DISADVANTAGESOF AUDIO VISUAL PRESENTATION

Apathy of the Teacher It has not yet been possible to convince the teacher that teaching with words

alone is quite tedious, wasteful and ineffective.

Indifference of Students The judicious use of teaching aids arouses interest but when used without a

definite purpose they lose their significance and purpose.

Ineffectiveness of the Aids Because of lack of proper planning and lethargy of teacher as also without

proper preparation, correct presentation, appropriate application and essential follow up work, the aids have not proved their usefulness. A film like a good lesson has various steps-preparation, presentation, application and discussion.

DISADVANTAGESOF AUDIO VISUAL PRESENTATION (CONT.)

Financial Hurdles The Boards of audio-visual aids have been set up by central and state

governments for chalking out interesting programs for the popularization of teaching aids but the lack of finances is not enabling them to do their best.

Absence of Electricity Most of the projectors cannot work without electric current and so the non-

availability of electricity is creating a hurdle in the proper use of audio-visual aids.

Lack of Facilities for Training More and more training colleges or specialized agencies should be opened to

train teachers and workers in the use of audio-visual aids.

DO’s on AUDIO VISUAL PRESENTATIONS

Discuss, plan, test, budget and brief. Discuss the objective, audience, message and required outcomes

with colleagues before preparing a budget and brief. Attention span.

Most people cannot take in a full 30-minute promo. Consider 10 to 20 minutes as the maximum attention span. Keep key points to the early part of the presentation as attention falls rapidly after the first 15 minutes.

Multimedia usage. To expose the message to the largest audience consider multimedia

usage such as video, video clips within PowerPoint, web usage, business TV applications and so on.

DONT’s on AUDIO VISUAL PRESENTATIONS

Don't let anyone tell you the medium is the message. What you say is more important than the way you say it.

Don't fall in love with the latest technology. Using the latest cutting edge delivery technology cannot convey how advanced and

forward thinking you are if most of your audience does not yet have access to such technology.

Don't rush into production. Take some time to think about the objective, message, audience and media. Only

then can you script, shoot, edit and print.

TIPS ON MAKINGAUDIO VISUAL PRESENTATIONS

Make the Text and Images Legible Make sure that people at the back can see the bottom part of the

display - move the sheet up on the projector if necessary. Make the Information Understandable

Don't put too much information on a single sheet. Five main points per sheet is a resonable maximum (seven at a push).

Make the Speech Intelligible Speak slowly. Keep talking while changing each sheet. Long pauses

can be embarrassing. Make Life Easy for Yourself

Use heavy paper for covering parts of the image which you want to hide. This prevents the blanking sheet from sliding off the overhead projector.
