5. LEARNING AIDS.
 “WE STRONGLY BELIEVE IN THEIR EFFECTIVENESS
BUT
HARDLY USE IN OUR TEACHING”
 CLASSIFICATION OF TEACHING AIDS:

6. PROJECTED AIDS
Projected aids are those aids through which on passing light,
using a lens through a transparent picture is thrown up onto a
screen.
When a projected aid is used, an Enlarged image of the
material (slide, filmstrip, and frame) is projected on a screen
kept at a distance from the projector.
The room is either totally or partially darkened,
Projected aid is more effective then non- projected.

7. Darkened room reduces distraction & bright image in the
screen secures the attention of the audience easily.
Colour will make the aid more attractive,
motion will make the aid more dynamic,&
motion associated with sound will make more Effective &
attention comparing than the non projected aids,
Non- projected Aids :
The aids – which do not require any projection for their
presentation, are called non projected aids

20. A Classification of Multimedia:
•Text - HTML, PDF
•Audio – Sound, music, speech.
•Still Image - photo, scanned image
•Video (Moving Images) – Movie, a sequence of pictures
•Graphics – Computer produced image
•Animation – A sequence of graphics images

21. General Overview of a Multimedia System:

22. Packages:
A wrapped container
A collection of things wrapped or boxed together.
Written programs or procedures or rules and associated
documentation pertaining to the operation of a system
and that are stored in read/write memory.

23. Packages developed at NCERT:
1. The Audio Visual Computer Aided Tutor System(AVCAT)
The instructional material is composed from blocks of instructional
audio messages and their supporting Pictorial images, with questions
at the end of each block to assess the students‟ progress.
The audio messages and the instructional material are stored on C90
audio cassettes.
The visual content of the lesson is held on 35 mm slides.
Both the audio and slide delivery subsystems are rapid random
access devices.

24. 2.The Computer Audio Visual Instruction System (CAVIS)
The system provides a teaching facility that integrates the use of
video cassette,
pictures,
text,
videotext and animation,
and presents these on a single television screen with supporting
sound effects.
use in an instructional process.
In addition, a variety of Computer Based Trainings (CBT) are
available.

25. The complete workstation includes
a VCR,
a student keypad,
a pair of headphones,
a TV display monitor,
the author‟s keyboard and a micro computer unit that is fitted with
a magnetic disc storage system which contains the control software.
This is responsible for handling the overall operation of the system
and also guides the direction in which learning progresses as a
result of student interaction with the system.

26. 3. The Interactive Video Information System (IVIS)
multimedia workstation consists of
a keyboard,
high resolution colour Cathode Ray tube (CRT) display,
a pair of headphones (and/or audio speakers),
a video disc player and a microcomputer system.
The video images presented on the display monitor can be dynamic or still
frame.
Two audio channels are available.
Depending on the lesson material, being presented, the audio could consist of
narration, a life like conversation, special sound effects, music or any
combination of these.
IVIS trained students learn up to 53% faster and with better retention-than
students trained by conventional methods.

27. 4.Computer Guided Learning System(CGLS)
students attend a „Guided Learning Centre‟ at times when it is most
convenient for them to come.
A Guided Learning Centre course is composed of a series of modules.
Each module is self contained; the student‟s objectives and text for
that module, directions to complete the module, examples, exercises
and progress checks or examinations.
Each student covers topics step-by-step and can regulate the pace and
depth of learning.
Material may be recapped or repeated until a satisfactory level of
understanding has been reached.

28. WORLD WIDE WEB

29. A web is a collection of web sites and the Internet is a network of
networks.
World Wide Web is nothing but the collection of Web sites on the
Internet and the sites are all linked together like the a spider Web.
The Internet is a world wide network of computers.
Although they have distinctive meanings, the two words “Web” and
“Internet” are often casually used interchangeably.
The World Wide Web consists of files, called pages or Web pages,
containing information and links to resources throughout the
Internet.

30. English computer scientist Timothy Berners-Lee introduced the
World Wide Web.
Berners-Lee initially designed the WWW to aid communication
between physicists who were working indifferent parts of the world
for the European Laboratory for particle Physics.
The initial purpose of the Web was to use networked hypertext to
facilitate communication among its members, who were located in
several countries.

31. World Wide Web.
A collection of electronic documents or websites made up of text,
pictures, sound and moving images. Each website has its own address

32. The World Wide Web, or simply Web, is a way of accessing
information over the medium of the Internet.
The Web uses the HTTP protocol, only one of the languages
spoken over the Internet, to transmit data. (Packets that carry
data blocks over internet)
The Web also utilizes browsers, such as Internet Explorer or
Firefox, to access Web documents called Web pages that are
linked to each other via hyperlinks.
Web documents also contain graphics, sounds, text and video

34. INTERNET

35. What is The Internet?
The Internet is a massive network of networks, a networking
infrastructure.
It connects millions of computers together globally, forming a
network in which any computer can communicate with any
other computer as long as they are both connected to the
Internet.
Information that travels over the Internet does so via a
variety of languages known as protocols.

36. The Internet is an extension of a computer
network originally formed in the United
States during the 1960s by the
Advanced Research Projects Agency
(ARPA).
Working under contract to the U.S.
Department of Defense,
ARPA initially connected computers at the
Stanford Research Institute in California,
the University of California at Los Angeles
(UCLA), the University of California at
Santa Barbara (UCSB), and the University
of Utah.

37. Why use Internet ?
• Wealth of Information on
the World Wide Web
• Exchange of Information
• Faster, Reliable & Secured
• Communication Channel
• Instant Messaging

38. Local Area Network (LAN): A LAN connects network devices over a
relatively short distance. An Office or school usually contains a LAN.
Wide Area Network (WAN): A WAN spans a large physical distance.
The Internet is a WAN.
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN): A MAN connects network
devices of particular Metropolitan city.

51. E-learning: “The term e-learning covers a wide set of
application and process including computer based
learning, web-based learning, virtual classroom and digital
collaboration”.
Learning methods:
E- teaching: The teacher has an active role and learners are
guided and receive precise instruction as to what they are to
learn
E-mentoring: Facilitates the learner to seek
assistance/Guidance from the mentor electronically.

52. E- assignments: The instruction happens between students
and tutors communicating via an Internet based learning
platform.
E- discussion: The focus is upon group learning and
interaction among learners, work in-group leads to critical
reflection and can thus contribute to the building up and
maintenance of values.
E-Seminars: Papers may be presented through on line and
followed by discussions
E-Project work: May easily be conducted and guidance be
provided through online supervision.

56. INTERNET:
COMMUNICATION TOOLS FOR TEACHERS

57. Internet communication technologies have brought new
possibilities into the classroom.
It needs to be effectively integrated into the formal classroom
teaching and learning conditions.
The use of internet can make substantial changes for teaching
mainly in two ways.
Firstly, the rich presentation of information changes
learners’ perception and understanding of the context.
Secondly, the vast distribution and easy access to
information can change relationships between teacher and
learner.

58. Using the Internet as an Education Communication Tool
.
 E-Conferencing:
 a moderated discussion conducted via the internet
using e-mail and sometimes a website.
 An informal e-conference among peers in different
cities can be done on the “messenger” or “chat” facility
provided by communication portals like
www.msn.com or www.yahoo.com.

59. Video conferencing:
two or more people at different locations can see and hear
each other at the same time, sometimes even sharing
computer applications for collaboration.
Videoconferencing offers possibilities for schools, colleges,
and libraries to use these systems for a variety of purposes,
including formal instruction (courses, lessons, and tutoring),
connection with guest speakers and experts, multi-school
project collaboration, professional activities, and community
events.

61. Internet Forums
commonly referred to as web forums, message boards,
discussion boards, discussion forums, discussion groups.
An internet forum is a facility on the World Wide Web for
holding discussions.
Web-based forums perform the functions of providing
asynchronous communication options to users.
Most internet forums are woven around a subject or a theme.
There are also forums for a huge number of educational
topics related to pedagogy, classroom practices and many
more.

62.  Newsgroups
 there are dedicated bulletin boards called Newsgroups.
 People with an interest in providing and receiving
information about a single subject are encouraged to
post to the newsgroup(s) based on a topic.

63.  Blog
The term blog is a blend of the terms web and log,
leading to web log, and finally blog.
A blog is a Web page that serves as a publicly accessible
personal journal for an individual.
Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog are called “blog
posts,” “posts” or “entries”.
person who posts these entries is called a blogger.

64.  Wiki:
 A wiki is a type of website that allows users to easily
add, remove, or edit content, very quickly and easily.
 Wiki is interpreted as “What I Know is”, which
describes the knowledge contribution, storage and
exchange function.

65.  Discussion Board:
 Discussion boards are “a special kind of graphic aid for
teaching students to look at both sides of an issue
before drawing a conclusion.”
 It is an open forum were you can share experiences,
discuss feelings, seek advice etc.
 The discussion board allows instructors and students
to discuss topics asynchronously.

66.  Chat Rooms
 `A chat room is a place on the internet where people
with similar interests can meet and communicate
together by typing messages on their computer.
 Using a chat room can be an exciting and relatively
easy way to extend the walls of your classroom.
 Students can communicate directly with people you
might not otherwise be in touch with: teachers,
community leaders, or experts.

67.  E- Journal
is an electronic version of a journal that is found and read on
the Web.
An electronic version of a printed journal is provided and
made easily accessible than the printed copy.
Electronic journals (e-Journals) are the same as any journal
that you photocopy at the library,
In an e-journal, provision of Hyper linking allows further
improvements.
 Some of the directories of e-journal are:
 www.e-journals,org/ , http://www.sciencedirect.com/
www.doaj.org

68.  Digital Libraries
 A digital library is a collection of documents in organized
electronic form, available on the internet or on CD-ROM
disks.
a user may be able to access
magazine articles,
books,
research papers,
images,
sound files, and videos.

69. The spectrum of internet and E-learning with its
progression has exercised a shift from
„formal schooling to de-schooling and to electronic
schooling‟.
