This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
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.

Consider your goals, interests, and strengths. You may want to collaborate with others with similar goals and interests. Comment here to suggest possible collaboration. You may find someone with whom you want to collaborate beyond the time and scope of this course. Here are some ideas for opportunties to work together:
Im interesting in working with anyone out there. I'm looking for any multimedia that could be used for self assessment quizzes for those wanting to enter aged care, business services, building areas. Im looking for specific literacy/numeracy related resources. I am thinking about interactive activities that contextual the literacy/numeracy tasks. In Australia we find that students entering these career pathways are unprepared for the Lit/num demands in their formal studies.
I am a big fan of open-licensed multimedia -- music, graphics, photos, video, etc. that is free and open to be remixed and redistributed legally. Here is a livebinder with some examples. (See especially the 2nd tab w/more generic multimedia resources.)
If anyone has a subject or topic for which they are looking for open-licensed content for, I'd be happy to help you find something appropriate.
