Instructional Media and Technology
Use of training aids
• Effectiveness of instructor is influenced by training aids
• Must choose correct training aids
• Increases the chances of the learner retaining the information
The Need for Instructional Media
• Allows instructor to maximize transfer of knowledge
• Can replace extended explanation
Selecting Appropriate Media
• Must reinforce program content
• Must be relevant to desired behavior objectives
• Works with the class size
• Allow the learner to control the pace
Integration of Instructional Media into the Learning
Environment• Class room arrangement should be
considered
• Visibility and audibility of the media
Learning Environment Distraction
• Learners should feel safe comfortable
• Minimize auditory and visual stimuli not relating to topic
• Avoid clutter
Non projected Instructional Media
Chalk board
Dry erase marker board
Easel pad
Illustrations and Display Boards
Models
Casualty simulation media
Chalk Board and Dry Erase Board
• Advantages– Convenient and effective– Permits students to take notes– Helpful in stressing a point– Versatile– Low cost– Low maintenance
Chalk Board and Dry Erase Board
• Disadvantages– Requires ideas to be condensed and restated– Once produced, presentation must be left in
place or lost when it’s erased
Easel Pad
• Advantages– Inexpensive and easily transported– Pages are turned one after the other– Can be prepared in advance– Provides a permanent record
Easel Pad
• Disadvantages– Cannot view past a present information
Illustration and Display Boards
• Advantages– Helpful as follow-up– Student can give the instructor full attention– Easy to duplicate– No group size limitations
Illustration and Display Boards
• Disadvantages– No assurance material will be read– Paper and printing cost– Distribution may disrupt class– Research and development time needed for
preparation
Models
• A scale replica of something
• Table top miniature
• Anatomical models
• Audio cassettes
Casualty simulation media
• Moulage kits
• Minimal training required
Projected Instructional Media
• Overhead projectors
• Slide projectors
Devices Aiding in Media Production
• Scanner
• Digital Still Camera
Television and aids
Video tape
Multi Image Delivery
Using two or more slide projectors
Using a slide projector and an overhead
Simulators
• Can simulate when too dangerous to complete a scenario in the real environment
• Can simulate– Unsafe building to be searched– Multi operation
Other Media Devices
• Electronic simulators – communication systems• Mechanical simulators – built to simulate roof
ventilation, forcible entry• Computer Formats – simulate burning building• Virtual Reality – displays a field of view as if the
participant is part of the simulated environment
