Ideas for presenting content
Ideas for presenting content
Consider the most effective ways to present information to support understanding.
- Take a multisensory approach – use real experiences, physical activities, manipulables, photos, graphics and video alongside text or spoken content.
- Present digital rather than printed text so that students can personalise it, and use tools such as text-to speech.
- Use blogs, wikis, and online tools such as Moodle to bring together different versions of content in one place (for example, a YouTube video, a graphic and some text).
- Create digital rather than only hard copy content and information. This enables students to personalise how they access. They can listen to it, add digital sticky notes or sync it to online calendars and organise it in ways that work for them.
- Turn on the closed captions on videos.
- Avoid using handouts or workbooks that can’t be adjusted.
- Make instructions, demonstrations or key content rewindable and accessible 24/7.
