Description (or Proposed Degree Requirements)
This course is designed to provide candidates with knowledge and skills to design and develop
multimedia and Web-based projects to facilitate P-12 student learning. Topics include the design,
development, and evaluation of web and multimedia-based learning environments; research related to
multimedia and emerging technologies; classroom applications; design and development techniques;
hardware and software requirements; digitizing and manipulating images, voice and video materials;
universal design; and copyright and ethics. Candidates will apply instructional design processes and
principles to designing and developing multimedia content.
III.
Justification
In recent years, researchers have formed a strong consensus on the importance of engaged learning in
schools and classrooms. This consensus, together with a recognition of the changing needs of digital age
learners, has stimulated the need for more interactive multimedia instructional content. Today's children
are "growing up digital." Their view of the world is very different from that of adults, thanks to
unprecedented access to information, people, and ideas across highly interactive media. They learn
differently and as a result feel disconnected from schools that were designed for another time. This digital
generation takes in and responds to rapidly transmitted sights and sounds whether on television,
computers, or video games. Educators must learn to capitalize on these types of multimedia and emerging
technologies and utilize them to engage students in meaningful and relevant learning experiences.
