ETK 605 - Multimedia Learning

Unit(s): 3

In Multimedia Learning, we explore the reasoning behind the form and function decisions we make with instructional materials. We answer questions about why some content and presentations “work,” while others fall flat. We are guided in our examination by research- based specifics behind cognitive load theory and the principles of multimedia learning. The research behind these phenomena demonstrate the ways that making simple changes to digital products and presentations can greatly increase student learning. During the course we examine theory, apply our knowledge to analyzing existing learning resources, and finally create new materials of our own.
