Creating and Integrating Multimedia
This workshop track focuses on creating and integrating multimedia for the online classroom, using the UMUC faculty toolbox of multimedia software (such as Impatica and Audacity) to produce a well-designed multimedia element for a course. While there will be short presentations and demonstrations, the emphasis will be on hands-on sessions designed to show faculty effective ways to use multimedia, formal planning procedures like storyboarding, and the actual step-by-step process for using specific tools. Faculty will work in pairs to enhance an online classroom with multimedia elements and share their work with the entire group.
Objectives for this track
- To identify the different ways that multimedia can enhance learning, including the just-in-time "teachable moment" approach
- To analyze the components that comprise effective use of multimedia objects in the classroom
- To acquire the basic skills and how-to for manipulating three multimedia tools
- To learn storyboarding and other planning techniques for multimedia creation
- To enhance an online classroom with multimedia elements
- To compare different approaches to using a tool through viewing samples of multimedia created by the group
