Why It’s Important • Media Literacy is one of the most important skill sets of the 21st century • http://youtu.be/aHAApvHZ6XE • Can provide students with the knowledge and skills that can make them more successful • Related to information literacy-where the library can have a meaningful, lasting impact on student success

  6. Transforming Paper-Based Assignments into Digital Media Assignments

  7. Transforming Paper-Based Assignments • Questions to ask • Will the new multimedia assignment require the student to incur any costs? • Will the students experience a steep learning curve? • How much time should you allow for the students to complete the assignment? • Multimedia assignments can take a long time and may be best suited for final projects • Consider a strategy of deliverables • Groups work best • How will you evaluate the new assignment?

  8. Transforming Paper-Based Assignments • Steps to consider • Review the current assignment • Identify the essential knowledge/skills the existing assignment is designed to instill in the learner • Match each identified skill or artifact with a compatible media • Let’s Try It!

  9. Transformative Digital Media Advantages: Increases engagement Appeals to different learning styles More student-centered Supports technology skill acquisition • Images: Allow for the expression of more abstract ideas and relationships • Audio: Provides added dimension and brings a level of relatability and authenticity to a project • Video: Brings together images and audio
