1. Instructional Media and Technology

2. 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

3. The Need for Instructional Media Allows instructor to maximize transfer of knowledge Can replace extended explanation

4. 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

5. Integration of Instructional Media into the Learning Environment Class room arrangement should be considered Visibility and audibility of the media

6. Learning Environment Distraction Learners should feel safe comfortable Minimize auditory and visual stimuli not relating to topic Avoid clutter

7. Non projected Instructional Media Chalk board Dry erase marker board Easel pad Illustrations and Display Boards Models Casualty simulation media

8. 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

9. 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

10. Easel Pad Advantages –Inexpensive and easily transported –Pages are turned one after the other –Can be prepared in advance –Provides a permanent record

11. Easel Pad Disadvantages –Cannot view past a present information

12. Illustration and Display Boards Advantages –Helpful as follow-up –Student can give the instructor full attention –Easy to duplicate –No group size limitations

13. 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

14. Models A scale replica of something Table top miniature Anatomical models Audio cassettes

15. Casualty simulation media Moulage kits Minimal training required

16. Projected Instructional Media Overhead projectors Slide projectors

17. Devices Aiding in Media Production Scanner Digital Still Camera

18. Television and aids Video tape

19. Multi Image Delivery Using two or more slide projectors Using a slide projector and an overhead

20. Simulators Can simulate when too dangerous to complete a scenario in the real environment Can simulate –Unsafe building to be searched –Multi operation

21. 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
