I think that students remember things more if the subject creates an emotional connection either with a visual picture, experience, or auditory sounds.
I have recently started trying to make little music videos and mini movies to teach concepts to my students. It's amazing how it has increased their knowledge base, vocabulary, and motivation level.

In education today we often talk about learning styles and the three 'channels' of learning. We all take in information in three ways: we see the information, visual, we hear it, verbal, and we touch or feel it, kinesthetic. Most education is still stuck in the verbal mode, with a teacher lecturing and students listening. Though verbal instruction is valuable, adding a visual elment to any presentation can increase the possible sensory capture, thus increasing retention. Further, all learners have a dominant channel (even though we use all three). If a learner is visually dominant, then lecture will not be an effective tool at all for them. Visual presentation thus allows you to reach a higher proportion of your learners.

It has great value.
As they say, if you listen, you can remember for a day.
If you see (and listen), you can remember it for a month.
And if you do it, you will remember it for the lifetime.
So the effectiveness of teaching is in following order:
Practicals--highest
Audio-visual presentation--medium
Oral teaching--Low
Self-reading--Low
