Enhancing Learning with Various

Forms of Media
(Visual and Audio)
 What is media?
The term “media” was first used to describe the newspaper more
than two centuries ago. Media can be also referred to as
“instructional materials”. Media are generally defined as the means
by which information is conveyed from one place to another.
These help the teachers to create engaging, effective, and efficient
ways of learning for the students. The media allows the teacher to
facilitate the transfer of knowledge to the students.
 LEARNING
WITH VISUAL
MEDIA
 What is visual?
The conveyance of ideas and
information in forms that can be read
or looked upon.
 FORMS OF
VISUAL MEDIA
 Non-Projected Visuals
are those media which are used without any
projection, so they translate abstract ideas into a
more realistic format. They allow instruction to
move from verbal representation to a more
concrete level.

or object. It is a scaled representation which may
be equal to, smaller or bigger than the actual size

Aids
 Projected Visuals
When teachers provide visuals such as photographs, drawings,
charts, graphs, or posters, she needs a way to show them. Visuals
may be displayed in the classroom in a variety of ways, ranging
from simply holding up a single visual at hand to constructing
elaborate exhibits for permanent display. Classroom surfaces
commonly used for display of visuals include whiteboards,
bulletin boards, cloth boards, magnetic boards, and flip chart.

LEARNING
WITH AUDIO
MEDIA
 What is audio media?
Audio aids stimulate the listening skills of the
learner when presenting a lesson. Learning using
audio or sounds to deliver and express
information, emotions, makes it more effective
and suitable for specific situations.
 FORMS OF
AUDIO MEDIA
 Radio Program
The Philippine Educational Broadcasting started when the
Japanese used radio to teach Filipinos the Japanese
language during World War II. It began with university
experiments in the use of radio in "distance learning"
projects. It was designed to reach provincial farmers who
could not afford regular school attendance due to lack of
funds or the distance of their homes from schools.
Two Categories of Learning
Enhancement: Instructional
and Educational
 Instructional Broadcasting

usually targets adults who wish to learn

more about a certain craft or trade. It also
aims to give information to rurally situated
families which would help improve their
lives.
 Educational Broadcasting

targets children and serves to enrich

classroom learning. It features programs
which aim to reinforce lessons learned in
school and are usually entertaining as well
as educational.
 Audio Tapes
audio tape recorder, tape deck or tape machine is an
analog audio storage device that records and plays
back sounds, including articulated voices, usually
using magnetic tape, either wound on a reel or in a
cassette, for storage. The use of magnetic tape for
sound recording originated around 1930.
 Recording

the process of converting the acoustic energy

sounds into some form that can be permanently
stored and reproduce any time. Types can be in
the form of cassette tapes, open reel tape,
gramophone record, and compact disc.
 Compact
Disc
an optical disc used to store digital data,
originally developed for storing digital
audio; other digital information is stored
and from which the information can be read
using reflected laser light.
 Audio Clip

stores the audio file either compressed or

uncompressed. Short audio clips can help
illustrate a key point in a lecture or support
an argument in a presentation or media
assignment.
 Dubbing
is the transfer or copying of previously recorded
audio material from one medium to another of the
same or different type. The purpose of dubbing may
be simply to make multiple copies of audio programs
or may be done to preserve programs on old media
which are deteriorating.
