MEU WORKSHOP

Audio Visual Aids

It is a time tested A-V aid for teachers

Most readily available and least expensive

Can use it effectively to draw simple line diagrams while explaining concepts like pathophysiology etc

Can be used to note down points being raised by students during interactive sessions

Always start with a clean board (slate) and leave it clean

Do not obscure what you are writing on the board

Use multiple colors

Write neatly and legibly

Start in one corner and then work your way across the board

The OHP is an useful AV aid when large amount of material has to be presented

Pre-prepared diagrams and graphics can be drawn and used to make the lectures interesting

Equipment is easy to handle

Transparencies once prepared can be stored and reused

Use clean transparencies

Use not more than 7 words per line

And not more than 7 lines per transparency

Use large lettering

Print text

Use a template while writing

Avoid smudges

Make graphics and drawings large enough to be seen

Limit the information to one main idea

Lesson outline / number in the margin

Mount transparencies in frames

Notes may be clipped on to the mount

Place transparencies in sequence in a folder

Check the projector

Position (Screen / OHP / teacher)

Darkening the room is not necessary

Switch on the OHP when you are ready to show your first transparency, not before !

Face the participants

Read from the transparency, not from the projection on the screen

Do not block the screen
