SUMMER SEMESTER 198

INSThUCrOR: David Bell

Mondays 8:30- 12:20 ?

MPX 8651/52

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 medium for all learners, tasks and teaching

situtations. 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 wont 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 & utilization of educational

media (including computer software).

2.

Develop skills in the operation of classroom audio-visual equipment.

3.

Develop skills in the design and production of instructional materials in the

following areas: a) overhead transparencies, b) print & pictorial media, c)

original & copy photography, d) audio tape recording and e) videotape

4. 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

Resource Centre. The L.R.C. is well equipped with the equipment & special facilities

needed for the completion of assignments.
