This course will include an overview of techniques and strategies that research has shown to improve learning outcomes using multimedia and graphics for learning. The role of graphics will be explored to move from the use of graphics from decoration to those that truly foster deeper learning. We will also discuss classroom delivery of multimedia. Participants will apply these concepts to improve and design instructional multimedia.
This course is not on how to create multimedia. Participants should use multimedia they already know how to use.

Bio:
I'm a teacher looking for new ideas and ways of improving.
Location: Australia
Standard Set Answer:1) I like using multimedia in the classroom, and my students often respond to it better than just me taking to them about a new idea or topic. But, I want to make sure I'm using multimedia as effectively as possible and developing students' critical thinking skills.
2) I hope to be more critically aware of the nature and usage of media in my classroom.
3) I don't know what helping entails. I don't think I am able to at this point.
1) Giving students access to different kinds of visual information to accompany other texts, engaging them in new concepts and as a research tool.
2) Both, but more often media created by others.
3) Currently - Powerpoint, online video (Youtube and Khan Academy), internet for research, audio CDs, websites for student navigation as well as projected for whole class. I aim to also use Prezi more and eventually a smartboard (for language teaching) if I can get access.
