...technique or direct instruction style suits most students, but there are other different auditory or visual learners who need different teaching style. So teachers have to vary their techniques used inside their classes in order to achieve better understanding among their students. One of recommended solutions is using audio visual aids as a helping technique in classrooms. Many teachers adopt this style and they find it a fruitful technique that it not only develops language skills, but also contributes in giving students background for many cultures as well (Stoller, 1995). Despite the fact that using audio visuals is remarkably a useful technique, we can notice that it is not a common technique in the Palestinian schools because of many reasons. The problem of the study Using audio visual aids in teaching languages is a notably effective teaching style since it can make a class more lively and interesting; so students’ ability to understand is enhanced by such technique. Consequently, most teachers in the world adopt this technique, but unfortunately, it is not the same in Gaza schools as the majority of them do not use this technique, and they depend mainly and sometimes only on the ordinary teaching style. The need of the study While checking books, articles and other sources, it could be noticed that non of them has paid any attention to the problem of lack of using audio visual aids in teaching in Gaza schools. Therefore, this research concentrates on this problem and...

...INTRODUCTION This proposal aims to study the extent to which audio visual resources can be used in teaching business management subject effectively in the senior high schools and the effects it would have on students’ academic performance Background to the Study Business management is a course which its content are not stories that an individual can picture in mind, rather it’s a practical course which demands a deep thinking-reasoning ability for one to understand and even to apply its knowledge in real business situation. Scholars were able to develop theories and models after studying real life situation at the work place (industries). An individual may go through the business management course but in the end cannot or will not be able to apply the knowledge acquired in the course at the workplace or managing oneself (self-management). In the traditional classroom teaching, there is hardly any scope for the student to interact with the teacher, teaching learning resources and the teaching learning environment. Teaching becomes very monotonous and students have to mostly rely on rote learning. Most often, classroom teaching is dominated by the lecture method. Learning has shifted from response strengthening to knowledge acquisition and from knowledge acquisition to construction of knowledge. In this context, the duty of the teacher is to provide appropriate environment where the student will construct his or her knowledge by interacting with his physical and social environment...

...learner with a strong leaning towards visual and audio learning. Understanding learning styles will assist in developing effective learning strategies which will improve learning abilities. The VARK questionnaire is a valuable tool, for assisting the learner, in understanding their preferred learning style, and allows the teacher to be able to adapt and improve their way of conveying information. A personal questionnaire will be assessed in order to help discus the purpose of a VARK questionnaire. Kinesthetic (K) is the preferred learning style with a preference for hands on learning. The kinesthetic learning style involves developing experience and knowledge in the area of learning (Gilakjani, 2012). Instead of listening to a lecture or observing someone else demonstrating the material, the kinesthetic learner prefers doing the learning activity in order to gain the knowledge. They prefer using their hands and body in order to focus and learn. This makes sense because retaining information was found easier when allowed to be able to physically engage in the learning process. When sitting still listening to a lecture, there were issues with focusing and learning the material. The other potential learning styles are audio, visual, and read/write. The test determined scores second highest on audio and visual with the lowest being the read/write learning style. Visual learners must see the learning material in order to learn the material. Visual...

...asked college kids to complete two visual tasks similar to driving and texting, and compared their performance with students attempting one audio and one visual task similar to talking on the phone while driving. The texters not only performed worse than the talkers—no surprise—but they also rated their performance better. "Many people have this overconfidence in how well they can multitask, and our study shows that this particularly is the case when they combine two visual tasks," says Zheng Wang, lead author on the study and assistant professor of communication at Ohio State. The results are in line with previous work that suggest that drivers overestimate their ability to multitask. The participants attempting two visual tasks had to complete a pattern-matching puzzle on a computer screen while typing walking directions to a person over Google Chat, an instant-messaging (IM) system. Students were told the person needing directions was another student named Jennifer. The students tasked with the combined audio and visual tasks had to complete the same computer puzzle while verbally giving directions to Jennifer using Google Talk, a voice chat system. The students were also asked to do the computer puzzle with no distractions. The two multitasking scenarios can be compared to what drivers face, says Wang. People who text while driving are combining two mostly visual tasks, and people who talk while driving are combining audio and visual tasks. The results showed that...

... Twenty-first century teachers and librarians work with students and/or patrons with disabilities on a daily basis. One example of an assistive technology device that can be used for students with disabilities is audio books or digital books. Audio books are excellent resources for anyone who cannot read due to a learning disability, dyslexia, or visual impairment (Ruffin, 2012). Students and library patrons, no matter their age, can follow along in the text while listening to the book on tape, CD, or any other digital AT device. Although tapes and CD’s are somewhat dated, MP3 files and other online audio material are not, and these are readily accessible for students. The great thing about audio books is that one no longer has to rely on a cassette player or CD player in order to gain access. It is easy to access them using an iPad, iPod, laptop, Nook, Kindle, or even a smart phone. The cost of audio books is not cheap; however, some can be downloaded for free. There are some digital audio books that cost less than the physical text and can be installed on any device that plays digital audio. This allows those with visual impairments or those with dyslexia or other reading disabilities an ability to comprehend not through sight, but through hearing. Audio books help with intellectual barriers by helping students have the same benefits as their peers. Students with reading and sight disabilities are able to have the same...

...an acronym that stands for Visual, Aural, Read/write, and Kinesthetic. These are sensory modalities that are applied to the learning of information. A combination of multiple learning styles is classified as a multimodal approach. The questionnaire also gives recommendations on approaches to retain information and how to customize a specific learning style. Applying these recommendations will improve learning skills and should be applied to every classroom. Students are able to learn successfully when instructors apply the learning recommendations assessed through the VARK questionnaire (Isra, n.d., p. 573). According to the VARK Questionnaire the learning style that best describes myself is multimodal style. The two styles that make up the multimodal style are aural and kinesthetic. Aural is a learning style that involves the auditory sense. For example, listening to a seminar is one illustration of auditory learning. Kinesthetic is another learning style that focuses on physical action. Hands on experiences are one good example of kinesthetic learning. In a multimodal learning style, the learner will use different learning techniques depending on the situation. The International Journal of Medicine conducted a study to determine the types and percentages of learning styles and concluded that most people are multimodal (Anu, 2012, p. 230). According to Anu (2012), “the results showed that 6.5%, 12.6% and 10.3% of students only preferred the visual, aural and kinesthetic modes...

... | | |May 1996 | INTRODUCTION The purpose of this discussion is to provide basic, comprehensive information to assist you in developing effective presentations. The use of visual aids, coupled with good public speaking skills, work hand-in-hand to create effective presentations. Your speaking style and stage presence are personal talents that you can refine with much practice and experience. Each aspect of effective presentations, however, could not be detailed in this discussion. Instead, much emphasis is given to visual aids which are essential to all successful presentations. DESIGNING THE PRESENTATION There is no secret to developing an effective presentation. Establishing your objectives, planning and organizing your material, and using appropriate visual aids are the essential ingredients. The recipe for effective presentations calls for all three ingredients, and you must use them in the order in which they are presented here. By establishing your objectives first, you can prepare material that supports each objective. The use of visual aids will move you further along toward your objectives by illustrating and emphasizing your ideas more effectively than words alone. Let's begin, then, at the beginning: As you start to design your presentation, you must ask yourself, "What do I want to accomplish by making this presentation?" Establishing...

...Literature is a kind of art by means of language. To express itself, art needs to rely on a specific form. From the targeted acceptors’ point of view, the form of all kinds of art can be divided into two main aspects, namely the visual form and the audio form. Some types of art such as painting, architecture, sculpture rely themselves on the visual form which can be observed or touched; others such as music rely on audio form which cannot be observed or touched but heard. Literature as a language art, therefore, also relies on these two forms. Poetry is an important literary genre with the longest history among other literary genres. It includes a variety of subgenre at different levels, which are usually classified into three major types: narrative, dramatic and lyric. Narrative poetry is concerned with a particular event or a series of related events, such as epic Milton’s Paradise Lost. Dramatic poetry is for performance, such as Shakespeare’s The Twelfth Night. Lyric poetry is to express strong emotions, such as ode, elegy, sonnet, idyll, pastoral and ballad. Based on the function or the purpose of the poetry, the form of the poetry may vary in different poems. The form of the poetry Poetry as a language art relies on both visual form and audio form. As Lu Xun once said, the beauty of Chinese articles exists in the form and the sound (中国文章之美，乃为形声二者。). As for literary works, Liu Xie believed that a good writing must rely on a beautiful form. And as for the composition...

...Distance Education Implementation Plan Ed5804-Uo2a1 Pamela A. Scallan Capella University Dr. Ann Armstrong Topic: My topic is the Implementation of a Distance Educational Plan using technology to enhance the existing distance education curriculum, Pre-K-Grade 3, using Audio/Video Media Technology to enhance the reading skills to globally diverse learners, using the Content Management System in a single-site environment. Overview: I am going to attempt to provide a brief overview of the Technologies and Media addressing the interactive/recorded audio and video along with the use of the Internet for transmission of the audio/video material. Print media is used extensively in Distance Education thru the use of study guides, textbooks, reproducible materials such as articles from journals or excerpts of chapters or perhaps entire chapters, course notes created by the instructor for students or pertinent student information related to the course via instructor or institution under which the program is delivered. I choose the various forms of Audio and Video Media by which I will implement my plan as a topic (one lesson), globally from a single-site. When thinking about media and technology (Moore, 2007) suggests answers to the following questions: 1. What are the characteristics of different communication technologies and media, and how can they be used in distance education? 2. Which communications’ media and technologies are the best for a...

...a flux. The system of Education at all level has changed, is changing & will continue to change as and when it is required. There is an agreement on all sides that the academic education is to be replaced by practical & dynamic education which is related to life. The main account in modern education is on the awaking of curiosity, the stimulation of creativity, the development of proper interests, attitudes & values & the builing of essential skills such as independent study & capacity to think and judge for oneself. In modern education, students are encouraged to explore, to ask questions, to study themselves & to be creative. In this modern education audio-visual aids are more important because in modern teaching- learning process 85% of teaching is related to the audio visual aids. It is now established that audio -visual aids work as potent initiators. In the past the teacher was considered to be the soverign as far as the teaching -learning process was concerned. The role of the students was mostly passive. Modern trends have changed the face of educational world. Many progressive methods have come in the wake of these trends. Yet the traditional methods are not being given up altogether, they are “being modified and adjusted to the changed concepts and situations.” Multimedia Approach & Instructional Development – Educational Technology can be called systematic approach to problems solving in the educational environment.

...for certain applications or domains leaving only a few representing general-purpose multimedia description. As of today, the MPEG-7 seems to be recognised as the most complete general-purpose description standard for multimedia. Whether the MPEG-7 multimedia description standard qualifies as an appropriate general-purpose description standard and is compliant with the requirements of such a standard is a discussion beyond the scope of this thesis. MPEG-7 is an ISO/IEC (International Standards Organization/International Electro-technical Committee) approved standard developed by MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group), a working group developing international standards for compression, decompression, processing, and coded representation of audio-visual data. The standard was initialised in 1996 and it represents a continuously evolving framework for standardising multimedia content description. In the context of this thesis the proposed MPEG-7 standard represents an assessment and basis for evaluation of a general MIRS’ ability to adequately, according to the standard, describe image-media content applied in a digital museum context. The following review of the MPEG-7 standard is based on MPEG-7 documentation (2003) and is merely intended to provide an overview of the standard and to emphasise the image- media specific descriptive...

...important role in detecting advertisements in the personal recordings of a program on TV. This paper presents a simple and operative technique for detecting advertisements in a video program. The method to carry out this is to first recognize the finest audio feature to spot advertisement border for the video along background music. Taking this process further it is extremely important to detect the border, novel method is used to serve this purpose, this method is generally used for detection of logo video frames this is important to indicate the beginning and finish of the advertisement at the borders detected by audio. Investigations display that merging audio and visual traces is an effective way to detect advertisements. INTRODUCTION Recognition based algorithms play important role in detecting advertisements in the personal recordings of a program on TV. Many algorithms are used to detect the commercials. For many consumers facilities such as recording of television program have proved highly convenient, this can be achieved through combination of technologies such as set top box and digital media storage, this facility is getting highly popular because of decrease in costs (Sadlier et al, 2002). In this framework, audio visual investigation gears that aid the user to accomplish the huge amount of data play important role for such recording devices (Lienhart, Kuhmnch, & Effelsberg, 1996). There are many other benefits of this system also can be seen such as detection...

...knowledge. Three of the most common types of Learning Styles are visual, auditory and kinesthetic. There is an assessment you can take at this by Education Planner. The website is http://www.educationplanner.org/students/self-assessments/learning-styles.shtml. It will help determine your learning style. After taking the assessment, I found my learning style is Auditory. I learn best when I listen to lectures, audio books, audio conferences, and panel discussions. After reviewing Learning Style Study Tips at Whiteman College website. I found there are several resources I am able to use to improve my study skills. I can try using a tape recorder for lectures and discussions instead of writing down notes. In order to make sure I am writing correctly. I can read my sentences out loud as I am writing or have a study partner read what I written out loud. I can also talk out loud while I am studying, to make sure I understand concepts. I can ask myself a question and answer it while preparing for a test. In conclusion to all I have read on the different learning styles. I believe in order to be a successful in any future endeavors. I need to learn to how to use the other two learning styles Visual and Kinesthetic equally well. A Visual learner understands concepts and tasks by watching or seeing a demonstration. It is easier to see a complex spreadsheet or computer program being created. Than listening to step by step audio of the process. Kinesthetic learners understand through the...
