  • Another way of classifying the audio-visual aid is – display type such as poster, bulletin board, models, exhibits etc. and presentation type such as flash card, slides,filmstrip etc.
  • Display type visuals are those which are spread before the audience for viewing, who get the message by looking at them.
  • Presentation type visuals are presented or projected before the audience for viewing, but at the same time one explains or presents the message of the visuals, so that the audience gets a meaningful understanding of them.
