Linked Audio and Still

Visual Materials
Maquera, Ivy Rodeza U.
What is Linked Audio and Still
Visual Materials ?
• This is the first of the two classes in which audio and visual materials are combined
to form integrated instructional systems, and includes a number of media that are
particularly suitable for use in individualized learning.

• Some of the most commonly-used systems are: Tape-slide programs , Tape-

photograph programs, Filmstrips with sound, Radiovision programs, Tape-text and
Tape-model, tape realia, etc.

• Linked audio and still visual materials can be used in an extremely wide range of
instructional situations.
 MASS INSTRUCTION
• They can be used to provide background and illustrative material within the
context of a conventional 'live' expository lesson, media such as tape-slide
programs and filmstrips-with-sound being ideal for these purposes.

• They can be used to provide fully-mediated presentations to a class, tape-slide

programs and filmstrips-with-sound again being ideal media for this, together
with radiovision programs.
 INDIVIDUALIZED LEARNING

• Until the advent of computer-based learning, the various systems that

use audio and still visual materials in combination were probably the
most effective tools available to anyone designing an individualized
learning course of practically any type.
COMMONLY - USED
SYSTEMS
 Group learning

• The main role of linked audio and still visual materials is probably the
provision of illustrative and background material, although there is
also scope for the use of such materials as a vehicle for small-group
activities. Media such as 'tape-model' and 'tape-realia' certainly have
potential in this area.
 TAPE-SLIDE PROGRAMS

• Audiotape recordings (usually on cassettes) synchronized with linked

sequences of slides constitute one of the most commonly -used
integrated audiovisual media, and one of the most useful; they can be
used in a wide range of instructional situations, particularly
individualized learning.
 TAPE-PHOTOGRAPH PROGRAMS

• these are basically the same as tape-slide programs, except that

sequences of photographic prints are used instead of sequences of
slides; their range of applications is not so great, however, being
largely restricted to individualized learning situations.
 FILMSTRIPS WITH SOUND

• These are simply filmstrips that have an accompanying sound

commentary, usually on a tape cassette; they can be used in much the

same way as tape-slide programs.

 RADIOVISION PROGRAMS

• This is a technique pioneered by the British Broadcasting Corporation

whereby still filmstrips are produced to accompany educational radio

programs; the filmstrips can either be shown to a class during the

actual broad cast or used with a recording of same.

 TAPE-TEXT
• Combinations of printed or duplicated materials with audio recordings
constitute an extremely useful individualized learning technique.

• The audio component can either be carried on a separate audiotape (usually

a cassette) or carried on special strip or sheet that is incorporated in the
medium that carries the text; the latter systems (known as audio cards, audio
pages, talking pages, etc.) require specialized equipment to use them.
 TAPE-MODEL, TAPE REALIA, ETC

• Combinations of audiotapes (usually cassettes) and still visual display

materials such as three - dimensional models, collections of realia (e.g.
geological and biological specimens) and microscope slides; such
hybrid systems can prove extremely useful vehicles for individualized
learning.
