ABSTRACT
This chapter is about visual aids in lectures, their purposes, their design and their use. Recognizing the current prevalence of one particular visual media tool in lectures, namely PowerPoint, the chapter includes a major section on using this tool well and avoiding common pitfalls. However, we also aim to discuss the use of many other ways of presenting material visually too, including the use of black-or whiteboards, flipcharts, overhead projectors, video, interactive whiteboards and electronic flipcharts.
