Description:
The use of
a computer to present and combine text, graphics, audio and video with links
and tools to create learning packages, assessment tools, presentations, and
stand-alone training. Focus is on good
multimedia design, scripting, used of audio and video tools, the Internet as a
delivery tool and computer-based training using Director and Premier.
Rationale:
The use of
multimedia is quickly emerging as a basic skill that will be as important to
life in the 21st century as reading is now. The use of graphics presentation programs to
create multimedia learning has increased dramatically in the past few years. This course gives students the ability to
learn and develop a foundation in the design of Multimedia based programs. Multimedia is a powerful tool for learning
because it engages more of the senses to make communication more effective.
Multimedia materials can be called up instantly, either as material for
lecture, or as a resource for collaborative learning, critical thinking,
discussions, question-and-answer sessions, reviews, problem solving, or
self-study.
