INSTRUCTOR: Prof. Robert Jones

Monday and Thursday, 1:00 - :50

LOCATION: on campus

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 situations. 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

materials.

2.

Develop skills in the operation

of

classroom audio-visual equipment and micro-

computers.

3.

Develop skills in the design and production

of

instructional materials in the

following areas.

a)

overhead transparencies

b)

print and pictorial media

c)

original and copy photography

d)

e) videotape recording

i

-i.

Develop a critical appreciation of the role of instructional technology in

education.

COURSE ORGANIZATION:

Scheduled class time will consist primarily

of

lectures, demonstrations and the

viewing of instructional materials.

Students will be expected to use the Learning Resource Centre's facilities for

laboratory and production assignments outside of scheduled class time.

There is no final examination. Evaluation will be based on equipment operation

tests, production assignments and in-class objective tests.

SUPPLIES:

Materials needed in audio-visual productions may be purchased from the Learning

Resources Centre.

The L.R.C. is well equipped with the equipment and special facilities needed for

the completion of assignments.
