  1. MULTIMEDIA INSTRUCTIONALTECHNOLOGY (MIT)

  2. “Multimedia” - To communicate in more than one way including: • text • graphics • sound • motion • (http://www.uncg.edu/irc/mm/defined/defined.htm)

  3. BASIC EQUIPMENT Scanner Computer Data projector Digital camera

  4. INSTRUCTIONAL USES OF MT

  5. Examples • Hardware: data projector • Software: PowerPoint To convey information

  6. Examples • computer - e-mail, message boards, “chat” programs • conferencing - video, audio To communicate

  7. Examples • computer (e.g., Internet, various databases) • video-conference (e.g., guest speakers) To provide access to information

  8. To simulate reality • Examples • computer simulation programs such as are used in pilot and/or military training • video games

  9. To make learning more interactive • Examples • an online, video or audio conferencing course versus a correspondence distance education course • an interactive educational software program or online activity versus paper and pencil tasks

  10. As a support tool • Examples • administrative support such as word processing, desktop publishing, spreadsheet computer programs • “assistive” technologies to help students with learning disabilities

  11. Summary • To present material • To communicate • To provide access to information • To simulate reality • To make learning interactive • As a support tool

  12. MODES OF MT USE

  13. Adjunct Mode Technology is only used to support a course • e.g., course outline, assignments, etc., are contained on a web site and e-mail is used for messages between instructor-student and/or student-student, but all material is delivered in the classroom

  14. Mixed Mode MT is used topartially deliver course material outside of the classroom • e.g., a course in which there is a mix of in-class and online sessions

  15. Full Mode Course material is fully delivered outside of the classroom • e.g., an online, video/audio-conference course

  16. Benefits and Drawbacks of Using MT

  17. Benefits • Multisensory (e.g., overhead projector versus SMART board) • Material can easily and quickly be changed, rearranged (e.g., word processing) • Ease and speed of access to vast amounts of information (e.g., Internet) • Interactive in nature • Increased access and convenience for adult learners (e.g., online learning) • Material is easily stored (i.e., CD’s versus filing cabinets)

  18. Drawbacks • Requires varying degrees of technical knowledge to operate • Financial - initial cost, maintenance, replacement • Fallible - electronic so depends on power source, prone to “glitches” • Access - how much equipment/software is there and when is it available? • Loss of personal attention and face-to-face interaction • Tendency to focus on ‘glitz’ versus substance • Information overload

  19. Considerations • Cost • financial (initial and ongoing cost of hardware, software, training and technical support) • time and energy to learn and use MT • Reliability and availability of hardware, software and technical support • Accessibility • Quality of teaching and learning • Comfort level of students and instructors • Training - initial and ongoing

  20. Getting Started • KISS (keep it simple Sam!) • Take it slowly • Aim for substance versus glitz • Expect, accept and plan for technical glitches

  21. Planning for “Glitches” • Check equipment ahead of time • Don’t rely solely on technology • Have access to technical support • Practise, practise, practise! • Have a Plan “B” • Let learners know there may be “glitches”

  22. Planning • Three basic goals: • develop a technology plan • learn the technology • use the technology to learn

  23. Return to Module 1
