The infusion of multimedia technologies into the classroom has
changed the way educators teach and students learn…In this project,
students will learn to make use of the knowledge presented to them in
a more meaningful way using different media elements…One
important advantage of creating multimedia projects in the
classroom environment is that when students create
multimedia projects, they tend to do this in a group
environment. By working in a group situation, the students will have
to tap into their group skills and use a variety of activities to
accomplish the project's overall objectives. In this way, collaborative
learning experience can be gained by the students.

The role of the student also evolves from being a passive learner to
becoming an active participant in the learning process. In this
student-centered learning mode, the students must play an active
part in their learning and construct their own knowledge or
meaning of what they learn, and learning builds on what
learners have already constructed in other contexts. The
learners determine how to reach the desired learning outcomes
themselves. In other words, students are involved in learning as a
process of knowledge construction and not knowledge absorption. This
learning process is also knowledge-dependent, that is, the learners
use current knowledge to construct new knowledge.
In a constructivist learning environment,
“…students must play an active part in
their learning and construct their own
knowledge or meaning of what they
learn, and learning builds on what
learners have already constructed in
other contexts” (Neo & Neo, 2002, p.
144).

Constructivist learning emphasized learning as a social and
collaborative endeavour as well as problem-solving of realistic and
authentic tasks. Thus, instruction focuses on assisting the
learners to develop learning and thinking strategies in the
subject domain, that is, learning "how to learn" rather than
how much is learned. From a constructivist view, students must be
provided with a rich learning environment. The computer with its
capability of processing and integrating the various media elements
such as text, graphics, sound, animation, and video is ideally suited to
present such a rich learning environment.
Neo and Neo (2002) explain that, in a
constructivist classroom, instruction

in the subject domain, that is, learning
"how to learn" rather than how much is
learned.

What is different about the Multimedia Project is the way that students
and teachers use a wide range of technologies to design, plan,
research, and complete their projects. Although students certainly
learn how to use specific multimedia technologies, the emphasis is on
developing students as authors of multimedia content. In the
creative process of designing multimedia products to meet
given specifications, students learn not only academic content
but also critical-thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork
skills. In the Multimedia Project, students are not simply consumers
of advanced technologies; they learn how to use and adapt the
particular tools to meet the challenges posed by a complex
communication task.
Penuel, Means, and Simkins (2000)
believe that, when students work to
develop multimedia projects, they
acquire knowledge relating to the class’
subject matter, and they also develop
critical thinking skills, strategies for
finding solutions to problems, and the
ability to work in collaborative
environments.

One of the chief lessons of the Multimedia Project is the importance of
developing a network of teacher supports for integrating technology
into a model for innovative teaching and learning. As schools,
districts, and government agencies allocate more funding for
technology, we should not overlook the benefit of informal
networks of instructional and technical support.
Despite the fact that the incorporation of
technology into the curriculum is
increasingly receiving monetary support,
it is important to remember that teachers
must also have channels by which they
can support each other in regards to their
teaching strategies and their use of
technology in the classroom.
