Introduction
More interactive and multisensory teaching helps learning
occurs
During and instructional event, adding the appropriate audio
and visual component can engage more of the learner sense
and help to build multiple cognitive connection to the content
presented, to build multiple cognitive connections to the
content presented,
Learning styles vary, the addition of audio and visual images
can make learning easier
Auditory or visual strength
Support learners effort to make meaningful contact with, and
build mastery.
Traditional & Digital
 Record player
 Tape
Became part of society and ultimately were
 Recorder introduced into the classroom.
 Movie Projector
 Eg: VCR DVD, reel to reel tape recorders replaced by
cassette records now ipod & MP3 player.
 Although the storage and play back technology has
changed the input remains constant.
Audio in Teaching & Learning
 Auditory delivery requires the sources at the audio is most
typically the teachers voice.
Understanding Listening & Learning
Listening
Hearing
Focused listening
Traditional Audio Media
 One form of Audiovisual technology in education is of course Audio in
teaching. Technology incorporated in teaching with “Audio” is;
 Audio Cassette
 Audio cassettes- allow teacher to record their own voice, lectures, music or any
sound to present to the students
 Economical
 Durable
 Easy to use magnetic medium, allows to record voice, music or the other
sounds.
 Inexpensive
 Compact & Simple to operate
 Talking Book
 Multimedia Kids
Broadcast Audio
 Audio received via radio can also provide valuable enhancement to content.
 Broadcast Audio- This is audio received through the radio. National Public
Radio offers a variety of educational listening opportunities such as
Digital Audio Media
Optical Media
Clarity
Storage format
Information access
Sound recorded in distinct bits of data rather than analog waves
Crisper
Clearer audio recording
Highly durable
Do not deteriorate with frequent use
Maintain the shape
The main form of digital audio is compact disks, and DVD's. These
are very effective in the classroom because they are clear and can
hold a lot of information
 Internet Audio
You can download & store only what you need rather
than having to buy a full CD
Common format WAV files & MP3 files
 Internet Radio
Combined with streaming audio technology, the internet
offers a broadcast service called internet radio
Offer online radio stations with wide variety of
programming including music, sports, science and local,
national and world news
Visual, text and audio information may be provided, thus
different learning style are addressed simultaneously
Visual Technologies In Teaching and
Learning
 Address the needs of the auditory learner but also add
dimension to instruction for all learners
 Visual support for content can be seen throughout the
teaching eg: bulletin boards, models or dioramas, the
content is articulated, clarified and enhanced visually
Visual Communication and Learning
Visual literacy
Is a type of literacy that enables the viewer to accurately
interpret the visuals necessary for functioning effectively in
our society.

How is it learned?
Through the many teaching and learning processes you
have experienced.

Why is it important?
It allows someone to accurately interpret the visuals
necessary for functioning effectively in our society.
Non projected Visual in Teaching &
Learning
Real Objects – An object that can be brought into the
classroom safely. This is useful for classrooms because
learners can examine and explore the object Models
Models Three dimensional representations of concepts
or real objects that can not be reasonably brought into
the classroom. This is useful because models can bring
kinesthetic versions of concepts into the learning
environment and can be manipulated and handled
Non projected Visual in Teaching &
Learning
Print materials - Visual displays that remain a
centerpiece in most learning spaces. These are helpful
because they orient visuals for the learner.
Graphic & Photographs - drawings or cartoons are
useful in the classroom because they can represent and
clarify concepts and relationships.
Non projected Visual in Teaching &
Learning
 Display Technologies for non porjected visual
Flip chart
Magnetic boards
Chalkboard
White board
Projected Visual in Teaching & Learning
Overhead Projector
Visuals that are created on thin sheets of clear acetate
that can be written on with dry erase markers.
Projected Visual in Teaching & Learning
Digital Projector
Attached to a computer and displays software or internet
activities.
Projected Visual in Teaching & Learning
Document Camera
a mounted camera that captures and projects an image of
the table and shows real time images.
Traditional Video Technologies
Broadcast Video – Commonly known as television.

Narrowcast Video – Video’s targeted at smaller

groups like schools.

Cablecast Video – Video that is transmitted by a cable

company with a coaxial cable to remote locations.

Recorded Video Technologies - Tapes like VCRs

Digital Video Technologies
 AVI audio/video interleave
 Next time you see a video clip on your PC, there's a good
chance that it's an AVI file. AVI is the file format used by
 Video for Windows, one of three video technologies used
on personal computers. (The others are MPEG and
 QuickTime.) In AVI, picture and sound elements are stored
in alternate interleaved chunks in the file.
Digital Video Technologies
MOV
See a file with the .mov extension, and you'll know one thing: you need
QuickTime multimedia technology to run it.
MOV files can be movie clips, such as Video for Windows' AVI files, or
still images, such as GIFs.

MPEG
Moving Pictures Experts Group
MPEG is a standard for compressing sound and movie files into an
attractive format for downloading--or even streaming- -across the
Internet. The MPEG-1 standard streams video and sound data at 150
kilobytes per second--the same rate as a single-speed CD-ROM drive--
which it manages by taking key frames of video and filling only the areas
that change between the frames.
Digital Video Technologies
 DVD’s
We can rent a movie on DVD This is new a storage medium
that will hold gigabyte of information on a single disc.
It’s enough space to include an entire feature-length film
with superior picture and sound.
This is the latest series of advances in digital video
technology
Digital Video Technologies
 On your TV, you can surf the internet, or use a computerized DVR to
record hours and hours of programming without videotape.
 Video has evolved into digital video, DV.
 Video cameras use CCD’s (Charge-coupled devices), which are computer
chips that convert the optical images into electrical
impulses.
 Traditional video – use an analog signal.
 Digital video converts the analog signal into binary form, which

is represented by a series of zeroes and ones.

Internet Video
 Internet Broadcasts
 Streaming media is multimedia that is constantly received by and
presented to an end-user while being delivered by a streaming
provider. The name refers to the delivery method of the medium rather
than to the medium itself. The distinction is usually applied to media
that are distributed over telecommunications networks, as most other
delivery systems are either inherently streaming (e.g., radio, television)
or inherently non-streaming (e.g., books, video cassettes, audio CDs).
Internet television is a commonly streamed medium.
 Live streaming, more specifically, means taking the media and
broadcasting it live over the Internet. The process involves a camera for
the media, an encoder to digitize the content, a media publisher where
the streams are made available to potential end-users and a 
content delivery network to distribute and deliver the content. The media
can then be viewed by end-users live.
Internet Video
Videos in Education
Often there are great videos commercially available to
educators to support what they are teaching. If there
isn't anything available home made videos can also be
a great tool. In order for Videos to be educational is is
important to make sure the learner is fully involved.
Prepare the students by reviewing the concepts the
video presents. Video study guides are also a great idea
to keep students focused during the video
In the classroom
I know going through school I have seen teachers use
all of these forms of Audio/Visual Technologies. I
know that in my future classroom it will be necessary
to use things such as digital projectors, movies, CD's,
Chalkboards, and everything mentioned in the
previous slides. It is critical for learning for students to
be presented with alternative forms of stimulation.
