Think about an example of how multimedia have been used effectively to enhance your learning. Feel free to reflect on your MET experiences, or any other.
In ETEC 533 multimedia was not just examined extensively, but it was also used effectively for instruction. The graphics tied in directly to the text that was been presented. I could read the text then see the concept without having to make an effort to look for the graphics. By reading the text I could ‘hear’ the authors voice, but by seeing the graphics allowed me another mode in which to visualize the concept. Moreover, embedded videos were a welcome change to reading. We are wired to respond to visual stimulation in the form of movement, colours, and contrast. Using multimedia helped me to become more engaged in the course and I think that becuase of this I probably learned more than if it was not present.
