Audiotape slide teaching: use with automated and simple apparatus.

Using a cross-over design trial and a series of 20 audiotape slide programmes on clinical physics and measurement, no difference in teaching effectiveness was found between their use with synchronised automated apparatus and simple manual equipment. In both cases 91% of the main lecture points were immediately recalled and there was a significant gain in knowledge from an average pre-test MCQ score of 43%--76% post-test score. The advantages and disadvantages of automated and simple equipment were discussed. The anaesthetists found the teaching by the tapeslide technique very acceptable, helpful and useful.

Audiotape slide programmes: equipment and production.

The number of medical audiotape-slide programmes available has been rapidly increasing. A typical programme comprises a cassette tape and a set of slides. A questionnaire or workbook may also be provided, e.g. in the programmes which may be borrowed or purchased from the Medical Recording Service Foundation. For playback a cassette recorder and projector will suffice or, for economy, a stacking viewer may be used. Automated apparatus is not essential and if used should be of the correct 'USPEC 2' standard. To produce audiotape-slide programmes is more exacting than may be anticipated, and details of the procedure are provided. Programmes should be assessed and upgraded after their production.

Audiotape-slide teaching. An assessment of group and individual presentation.

A series of fourteen audiotape-slide presentaiions on clinical physics and measurement were produced for self instruction by junior anaesthetists. A comparison of group and individual teaching carried out on fifteen trainees indicated no difference between the effectiveness of the two methods. In both cases almost 90% of the lecture points could be immediately recalled. Most students however preferred individual tuition. The assessment also allowed a comparison of individual lectures so that upgrading, modifying and rewriting of the appropriate lectures or parts of lectures could be carried out. The tapeslide technique and the format used was found to be very acceptable to the anaesthetists taking part. The flexibility of audiotape-slide lectures as a teaching medium is discussed.

Audiotape slide programmes: comparison of synchronised and manual use.

No difference in teaching effectiveness was found between the use of a series of audiotape slide programmes on clinical physics and measurement with synchronised and manual slide change. Over 93% of the lecture points could be immediately recalled in both instances and significantly different learning abilities among the students were detected. The trial also identified programmes with lower answer scores for possible upgrading. Comparison with a previous trial demonstrated the value of the revision and upgrading of materials. Anaesthetists found the teaching by the tape slide technique, in the format used, helpful and very acceptable. The advantages and disadvantages of the use of audiotape slide programmes with synchronised and manual slide change apparatus have been discussed.
