Weeks 2 & 3

ITED 521: Today in class we recapped some things from Chapter 1, and then we talked more about the time we'll spend in the film studio for our future multimedia project. Basically, we'll rotate weeks that we spend in the studio to learn how to use the equipment and ultimately produce and edit a short video about a topic of our choice. We then viewed some videos from previous students for example purposes.

Next, we reviewed Chapter 2 concepts, and I really didn't do a good job at taking notes here.

As is evident...

Notes: Static vs dynamic

Spring Semester

Now that we're back from our break, we're beginning a new semester. With this semester comes three new courses at A&M:

  • ITED 521 - Instructional Video and Multimedia: Production and Utilization
  • AE 528 - Instructional Methods in Adult Education
  • ITED 530 - Research Fundamentals and Technology

ITED 521: In the first week, we've covered the basics of multimedia and how it has many different forms and implementations. Our discussion covered the concepts in Chapter 1 which include (1) the definition of multimedia, (2) benefits of multimedia, (3) web-based multimedia categories, and (4) careers in web-based multimedia. The homework activities for this week required that we evaluate certain web sites and detail the different multimedia aspects that are contained within them.
