Research has showed that learning is based on perception. Perception is when the senses gain information from the environment. In addition, learning is most effective when two or more senses are being used simultaneously to receive information. For example, using vision and hearing to learn something is believed to be more effective than just seeing something. These findings show that the use of audiovisuals are an effective method for students to achieve greater knowledge.Return to Menu

The Visual Aids website recommends, Don't make your Visual Aids visual distractions (Visual Aids). I think it is extremely important to recognize when a visual aid does not enhance the learning experience. If it is not helping, then it should not be utilized. Only visual aids which are not distracting and support the information being presented should be used for a presentation when teaching.
