Oli Cav on Talking Teachers - Dual Coding Podcast
Notes
Dual Coding = Creating connections between visual and auditory channels. Ther is no information transfer between them but they can create links.
'Double Bubble Learning' Double memory trace (word and image)
Verbal information is sequential in nature and therefore cognitive challenging as there is ots to remember.
Design pronciples are key when designing flips/resources - have th end user in mind. Ask yourself 'What is the message of the slide, what do I want the students to get from the slide?'
1. Avoid cluttered multi-coloured busy slides - they only distract from the learning
2. Only include images/icons that link to the topic being taught. Stay clear of photographsas they contain a lot of visual noise.
3. Choose simple clear fonts (Calibri, Verdana avoid Comic Sans)
4. Use visual hierachies where possible
