EDUCATIONAL MEDIA
SPRING 1981

INSTRUCTOR: Prof. Robert Jones
CAMPUS

Mondays 4:30 - 8:20
This course will introduce the procedures and principles underlying the effective design,
production and utilization of instructional media in elementary and secondary schools. The
media will be examined not only as hardware and software but also in terms of their effect
on the teaching-learning process.
There is no single most effective instructional medium for all learners, tasks and teaching
situation. Each medium has its own potential. Therefore, we will examine a wide range
of media rather than develop expertise in any one medium. The emphasis will be on simpler
technologies which teachers and students may encounter at the school level rather than on
more complex mass media systems (in other words, you won't become a TV producer in this
course.. .hopefully you will broaden your repertoire of instructional communication skills).
GOALS:
Students in this course will:
1. Develop competencies in the evaluation, selection and utilization of
educational media.
2. Develop skills in the operation of classroom audio-visual equipment.

in the following areas.
a)
overhead transparencies
b)

d)

f)

4. Develop a critical appreciation of the role of instructional technology
in education.
