"Spilt-attention is an issue in the classroom because it overloads a
student's working memory," said Mather. In this webinar, it shows
how by incorporating some visually based learning
strategies, they can go a long way towards eliminating traditionally
low levels of academic achievements for deaf and hard of hearing
students. As a result of visual split-attention, the students
experience either high levels of cognitive load or cognitive
overload, adversely affecting their classroom performance.
However, Mather has found that recent research shows
there are strategies that teachers can use to reduce the
effect of split-attention.

This webinar covered the following topics:
Differences between auditory-oriented classrooms and visually oriented classrooms. Impact of visual
split-attention on cognitive overload and working memory.
Shifting attention between visual fields in the classroom.
Strategies to reduce the effect of split-attention in various
types of classroom situations.

Watch 'Closer' online at NZ On Screen

           http://www.nzonscreen.com/title/closer-2004
       Set in a small New Zealand town, Closer is the story of a deaf
         teenage boy trying to come to terms with the death of his older
         sister. An emotionally locked-down father who has limited
         knowledge of sign language compounds his struggle. Written
     and directed by David Rittey (We The Living), and co-written by
   poet Therese Lloyd, Closer is a moving portrayal of the power
         and complexity of silence. Closer won Best Short Film and Best
   Performance at the 2005 NZ Screen Awards and was selected
         in competition at Cannes in 2004.
