Flipcharts
Flipcharts have been popular for years as an audio
visual aid. They can still be effective even in this age of
electronic technology. Flipchart stands are now better
than ever; look for models with sturdy aluminum fold- up
legs. Flipchart backing is now made from magnetic
board, blackboard or whiteboard so you can use it more
than one way. Double width flip charts hold two pads of
paper, offering more versatility.
Features
• inexpensive
• easy to carry
• useful in a variety of locations
• allows audience participation
• reusable material
• can write on during presentation
• good for group reporting
Limitations
• suitable only for small audiences, up to 30 people
• lose eye contact with audience when you write during
presentation
• flipcharts don't stand up to numerous uses
• call for legible handwriting
• can have problems flipping the pages
Tips for preparation
• Make your lettering a minimum of 25mm ( one inch) to
75mm ( three inches) high, depending on distance
from the audience.
• Limit yourself to six lines on each page. Remember,
the lower you go on the flipchart' the less the back
row of the audience will benefit f r om the visual. Also,
paper often curls at the bottom.
• Use a wide point water base felt marker. Water based
markers won't bleed through to the next page. Leave
a blank sheet between each page to help cover
material.
c
• Use an overhead projector to enlarge and copy drawings
to transfer to flipcharts before the presentation.
• Use non copyright cartoon pictures: they may be
suitable for more than one presentation.
' Prepare In Advance"
Tips on effective use
• Write lists and points in advance if you're a sloppy
writer.
• Use the flipchart to present major topics in order.
• Use words and pictures.
• Lightly pencil lines on the paper to help you print
legibly and straight.
• Place the flipchart where you won't trip over it or
stand in front of it during your presentation. If you're
right handed, place the flipchart off centre to t he nynt
of your audience. Then you are in a position to write.
• When you record audience comments, repeat the point
to make sure you've heard it; this also reinforces the
point for others who may not have heard.
• Use alternate contrasting colors for e a c h point on the
flipchart when making flipcharts in advance or when
recording points f r om the audience. It makes the flip-chart
easier to read and separates one point from
another.
Summary
Flipcharts may be old technology, but they're i
the most effective audio visual aid for many situat/
Use them!
