Handling visual media preparation for Ohio state's computer center workshops

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Peters, Gail
Abstract	At The Ohio State University, approximately 20 general-purpose workshops are provided each quarter to service the needs of our user community. We have found it useful to organize the teaching materials for these workshops by standardizing the overhead transparencies that are used by our instructors. We have found that as a direct benefit of this team approach, we can maintain consistent organization in teaching our workshops; our instructors are certain to cover the important aspects of each topic; they are better able to assess the time that will be required to cover each topic and they are less likely to be side-tracked from their subject matter. It has become much easier to prepare and rotate the teaching assignments among our instructors by this method, and the instructors find that they can prepare for a workshop on shorter notice (should an emergency arise) if they've taught this workshop in the past. Three years ago, while each instructor prepared his or her own temporary overhead transparencies on clear acetate sheets with water soluble pens, we began the process of learning to pool our ideas, determine what concepts were consistent and relevant—and prepare permanent, standardized sets of overhead transparencies for many of our workshops. We have developed a filing system for maintaining our overhead transparency sets, and make periodic modifications to these sets. Our transparency supplies consist of such simple materials as transparency film, water-based and permanent transparency pens, chartpak and zip-a-tone—all the way to the more sophisticated Kroy lettering machine, the electrostatic Versatec plotter and the newest addition—SAS/GRAPH. As the computer literacy rate has risen among our user community, the need for more technical and specialized instruction has also risen. By standardizing our workshop teaching materials, we have been able to free up more of the instructors' time and allow them to apply their research efforts toward new areas of computer literacy, while keeping pace with the needs and special interests of our user community. The paper that I propose will discuss the basic considerations that are necessary to produce clear, visible, and attractive overhead transparencies. Basic topics will include: simple DOs and DON'Ts of transparency making, examples of good and poor transparency style; suggestions for redesigning overhead transparencies for better comprehension and visibility, and current visual media preparation at The Ohio State University.
