  1. Scaffolding to Success: Multimedia Development Jay Melton Prefectural University of Kumamoto

  2. Today’s Presentation • Provide support to students through scaffolding • Examine the steps to creating your own multimedia lessons • Establish a need for the use of multimedia • Map out the lesson • Examine the hardware and software necessary • Take a look at a prototype tutorial • A volunteer later would be great!

  3. Transition from High School to University English Courses • Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) • Wants more communicative skills in English (Yashima, 2002) • Move from HS to university English courses may be difficult (Kawano, 1999) • Scaffolding can help with this transition

  4. Scaffolding • Based on Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development (Deubel, 2003; Hung, 2002) • The zone between what can be done independently and what can be done with help • Multimedia can useful for scaffolding (Deubel)

  5. Define the Objectives • Who are you teaching (Morrison, Ross, & Kemp, 2004)? • Define your objectives (Dick, Carey, & Carey, 2001; Gronlund, 2000; Morrison, et al.)

  6. Content • Determine the content (Friedmann, 2001) • Keep it manageable (Alessi & Trollip, 2001) • Use: • Storyboards • Flowcharts • Scripts

  7. Storyboards

  8. Flowcharts

  9. Software An authoring system PowerPoint?!?!? Video iMovie/Quicktime Pro Audio iTunes Graphics iPhoto Preview/Photoshop Grab Hardware Computer Rendering issues Digital camera Video camera Microphone Don’t forget the cables! Assemble Your Tools

  10. HCI Considerations • Human-Computer Interaction • Should be highly navigable • Users should not have to figure out what to do • Users should be able to leave easily • See my JALTCALL2004 presentation at: http://jklmelton.net/2004/jaltcall

  11. Other Considerations • Careful planning is necessary • Make it easy to use (Krug, 2000) • Test thoroughly (Alessi & Trollip, 2001) • Alpha • Run it with colleagues • Beta • Test it with students

  12. An Example • Tutorial • Bloom’s taxonomy (cited in Gronlund, 2000) • Knowledge • Comprehension • Analysis • A volunteer?
