Definition

For the purposes of this learning challenge, an audiographic teaching resource is an image, chart, or diagram with a corresponding audio recording that provides an explanation or instructions used to support learning.

The audio file can either

  • be distributed as an audio file, independently of the graphic, for use in combination with a printed version of the image, or
  • be combined with the graphic for playback using a video file format.

Audiographics are particularly useful for remote teaching or individual self-study in the classroom using a smartphone or computer with headset or earphones.

  1. a title slide with a music track in the background,
  2. a static graphic with an audio explanation, and
  3. an acknowledgement slide for attributing resources used and the copyright licence for the work.
