COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course focuses primarily on the evaluation of the use of multimedia software packages in relation to

important curricular and instructional issues. A secondary focus will be the student design and

production of a multimedia curriculum design project for use in an educational setting.

EXPECTATIONS

Students are expected to create a curriculum design project of their own, which they can use directly in

their instruction in classroom settings. The projects will contain different multimedia and ideas that the

students assume can reflect their educational and curriculum concepts and methods. The organization of

the projects should demonstrate the students' ability to work with different software programs and

combine them in a logic and aesthetic way related to curriculum aspects. The projects will be burned on

CD-Roms and they will represent a ready-to-use product for students' future experience as teachers.

Students are expected to participate in online discussions using First Class Online Conferencing and this

is considered to be their participation part of the course.

They are also expected to take initiative in finding relevant online articles from educational journals on

the Internet and share them with the rest of the group on First Class. Participants are also expected to

provide a reflection of their own on an online journal article that they find relevant and in connection

with their educational concepts and ideas.
