All learning is through the senses.

The more senses are brought into use, the more effective is
the learning; 97 percent of learning is achieved through simultaneous appeal to the eye and ear.
It is because of this that we should make use of audiovisual aids in training.

Effective use of audiovisual aids can be included in any sort of presentation. Charts, slides,
videos, overhead transparencies and films can be used to add interest as well as supplement
verbal explanations.

Proper use of instructional aids saves time, adds interest, helps trainees learn and makes your
job easier. But remember that aids to training are aids only. They are not substitutes for training.

Trainers should use training aids to supplement their training rather than to replace all or part of
it.
