ABSTRACT

Visuals aids can have a huge impact on how we process and retain information as images are easier to recall than words and abstract concepts, and thus can be utilized to facilitate student learning at the undergraduate level. This chapter lays out pedagogical tools to help foster undergraduate instruction, focusing on the effective use of visual aids, computer technology, and the internet as powerful means to perform research and increase knowledge retention. This discussion is followed by an overview of relevant topics in film education from both a disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspective.
