How do you use audio-visual materials in effective ways?
Sometimes, I show short films or clips. I believe this type of medium can be effective. Some students pay attention and others don't pay attention and even sleep.How can one measure what has been learned in this type of exercise? Sometimes, I give out a brief questionnaire, which helps me get some idea of the usefulness of this exercise.
Audiovisual aids strengthen an instructor's verbal presentation while helping his students capture a specific message. Audiovisual aids keep an audience's attention throughout a presentation and help them remember particular information. If instructors use simple, efficient aids, they will enhance their teaching. Often these visual aids can serve as attention grabbers and set the tone for your presentation.
audio visual system can be a stimulus for the learning process.
Laura,
yes, these videos are a great way to spark those discussions.

Your questionnaire is a great idea; do you grade it? If so, do your students receive this feedback?
I have found that brief videos prompt discussion and critical analysis among my students.
