Multimedia

• Used to describe ways to convey messages and information.

• A computer-aided instruction (CAI) or instructional presentation that combines text, graphics, video, and audio, and may include interactivity options.

Multimedia is:

• Interesting!

• Compelling!

• People like using it!

• Students learn from it!

• It works!

• Anyone can develop a package;

• Just point and click!

 

Research by Mayer, McCarthy and Walton

• Multimedia has gained acceptance with many benefits derived from its use.

• Learning gains are 56% greater,

• Consistency of learning is 50-60% better

• Content retention is 25-50% higher

• Instructional multimedia focuses on what the learner is expected to do upon the completion of the instruction.

Three Basic Categories

• Electronic communication

• Presentation support,

• or student materials.

Electronic Communication

• email,

• bulletin boards

• discussion groups/forum

• conferencing

• social media

• etc

Presentation Support

• using the computer to enhance a lecture

• set slides to show a movie clip or pictures

• play sequentially or pick slides at random

Student Materials

• programs used by students either alone or in class

• design a module to address many different instructional goals

• give drill-and-practice opportunities

Instructional Multimedia Development Process

implicit goals that media can help achieve

are the following:

• attracting attention

• developing interest

• adjusting the learning climate

• promoting acceptance (of an idea)

Benefits of Using Multimedia

• Visual Information

• Clarity

• Location

• Efficiency

Basic PowerPoint Guidelines

• Keep it simple

• Make bullet points

• Use graphics

• Keep wording concise

• Keep font size large

• Stick with Standards

Video Files

• can show historical footage or re-created events

• demonstrate processes or events

• slow down and analyze motion.

Here are some tips

• Know the video file ahead of time

• Prepare the class for the video

• Make the film important to students

Instructional Issues with Current Technology

• student’s expectation

• making class notes or save the file so as to make computer-based notes while in class.

• availability of the digital form of lectures can lead to a negative impact on class attendance

Instructional Issues with Current Technology

• The Internet - many students fall into the trap of using the Web

Several things to consider to avoid this problem:

• Set clear expectations for the students

• Point the students in the right direction

Components of Instructional Design for Multimedia Learning System

1. Objectives.

The first challenge is to specify the objectives of the multimedia learning.

3. Media Options.

Essentially incorporate several media like text (as in printed text), audio, video, graphics, animation etc.

4. Evaluation Options.

Evaluation is part of instructional design.

Major criteria for selecting instructional media

•Practicality

•Student appropriateness

•Instructional appropriateness

Conclusions

The field of computer-aided instruction and multimedia is new.

Using it effectively requires deliberate thought and attention to detail.

In its new life, we are just beginning to learn what effective use is for this technology.

Conclusions

We think it has the potential of addressing many educational issues.

By using it to its best potential, we hope to find solutions to some of today's instructional challenges.

Thank You.
