    The ap
    p
    lication of media to the methodologies of teaching,
    learning and curriculum design; development of instructional
    materials in lab settings.
    The course will embody studies in communications theory,
    through lectures, readings, screenings and seminars, centred
    on the integration of media in education. These studies will
    be the context for assigned lab projects in the development
    and design of instructional materials: film, photography, audio
    and videotapes, graphics and other classroom materials. Assess-
    ing their effectiveness will be an empirical element in their
    design. The objective of the course is to introduce students
    to the ijossibilities of media in education.
    The primary focus will be the rationale of educational
    media as communication in a humanistic vein. Studies of the
    work of George Gerbner 9
    Marshall McLuhan, Ingmar Bergman,
    Donal Theall 9
    S.I. Hayakawa and others will be related to media
    design for practical classroom objectives : Achievement of en-
    lightment 9
    motivation, discrimination, concept learning, problem
    solving and other goals.
    Overall orientation will be George C-erbners concept of
    educational media as a communications process: appearances
    (phenomena) 9 interpreting experiences (observation
    9
    perceptions,
    learning), and the interpersonal and social context in which
    appearances and experiences are symbolized, transmitted and
    shared. The ideal outcome of this process is for the teacher
    to have created a common learning experience which his or her,
    students can share.
    Attendance and participation are vital. Cognizance will
    be taken of student concerns. Term projects will be announced
    at the beginning of the course. Evaluation will be based on
    participation and on quality of theoretical and practical work
    submitted.
