Visualized lecture on mother and child health.<br />

Visualized lectures<br />

Purpose: To include lectures as stimulation and motivation for further<br />

processes in an event, not as conclusion or "wrap-up".<br />

Description: Lectures are often seen as masterpieces or the "last word"<br />

on a subject. But lectures can be used as motivating inputs for further<br />

discussion - the yeast for a group process. If lecturers can plan their<br />

input and visualize their main points with <strong>VIPP</strong> cards in a step-bystep<br />

manner, they can hold the attention of their audience, demonstrate<br />

the logic of their thought progression and arrive at conclusions that<br />

can then be held for everyone to study and refer to throughout the<br />

workshop. In this way the lecture's contents are not lost when the<br />

overhead projector is turned off. Nor do the participants have to depend<br />

on private note taking.<br />

Remarks: The success of the method depends on planning, preparation and the<br />

ability of the lecturer to place the cards correctly as her argument progresses. Practice<br />

is needed. If the construction is complex, a facilitator can place the cards on the<br />

board for the lecturer. However, this has to be done in exact synchronization with<br />

oral presentation to prevent division of attention.<br />
