The Value of Audio, Video, & Interactive Sources There prove to be many benefits of incorporating audio, video, and interactive media into a library's services and collections of materials. In today's world, we are constantly immersed in a variety of media from audiobooks and podcasts to television and movies to smart phones and the internet.
Audio, video, and interactive media can facilitate learning by providing users with a variety of interesting and engaging information and content. With both educational and recreational value, these sources can enhance learning and build connections with history. In educational settings, we can broaden horizons by expanding upon traditional print sources. Audio, video, and interactive media can lead to deeper understanding and comprehension. For example, a collection of oral histories can be "a powerful tool for researching, teaching, and learning about the past" (Gould, 341). Audiobooks can be a valuable tool for supporting literacy and facilitating rich learning experiences (Brock). |
