Mastery of signal flow is arguably the most important skill for students of audio engineering to possess. Few, however, will argue against the notion that supervised time in studio facilities benefits a student’s grasp of signal flow far greater than lecture hall presentation, inherently limited by linear lecture structures and a lack of hands-on time with equipment. This paper a) describes an alternative approach to signal flow pedagogy that can be employed both in and out of the classroom/studio utilizing Prezi, a web-based presentation software application and b) reports an experiment designed to test the efficaciousness of this pedagogical tool. Specifically, an experiment was designed to test whether this alternative pedagogical approach proves more effective in preparing students for a set of tasks than a more commonly used presentation and study aide. Results show statistically insignificant though discernible learning outcomes that warrant further investigation.
