In my classes, (Iteach ilolustration and graphic design) nothing is a substitute for a good old demonstration of materials and methods.
Response to Barry and all,
I agree that the instructional method only enhances the instructor's presentation. The key is that it should compliment the instructor and not replace it. I love using different media formats, such a power points, video and other visuals,which I dynamic. Sharon
Hi James:
Learning and delivery method are intimately related. You're right the content has to be solid, but the delivey determines how it's received. Many teachers really know their stuff but are lousy in the delivery. Good observation!

I agree with Judith media is a good accent to help transfer the information but it must be supported by strong content and good delivery
I use diverse forms of media to teach my course, yet, if an instructor were to come in with no knowledge of my material, they would not be an effective instructor. The media enhances my lectures, but they really cannot stand on their own.
Hi William:
PP does have limitations and a good "white board illustrator" can do a lot with this form of media. I think when that becomes the only form of delivery, students may be not receiving all the benefits that mutiple delivery methods provide.
