I created my LMS site<\/a> using moodle<\/a>.\u00a0 For an overview of my course, please view the screen cast below.<\/p>\n

In terms of multimedia, I have used visual and audio components.\u00a0 The visual components include images (.jpeg and .png), animation (.gif), video (.mov, embedded from YouTube<\/a>) and a digital story (.swf, embedded) created with Tikatok<\/a>. The audio components include 11 audio files (.mp3) that I created using Audacity<\/a>.\u00a0 View and listen to an example<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here is a breakdown of the multimedia that I used in more detail, organized by type:<\/p>\n

Purpose<\/h3>\n

There are a few purposes for incorporating images and animations in my LMS course site.\u00a0 On my splash page, there are images and animations that provide a visual hook for students.\u00a0 Young children love colourful and engaging images and I believe that students viewing this splash page would be instantly excited about the theme.\u00a0 The images on the Splash page have the correct alt attribute<\/strong> assigned to them, so if a student were using screen-reading software, they would understand where to click.\u00a0 There is also a silly picture of myself, from a field trip to the Calgary Science Centre.\u00a0 Students love seeing funny pictures of their teacher, and I would argue that this helps to foster a relationship with students.\u00a0 I have included images in other areas of my LMS course site, such as the quiz.\u00a0 The purpose of doing this is to add a visual element to some questions (the green alien) and to situate the student in the question (solar system).<\/p>\n

Source & Copyright clearance requirements<\/h3>\n

All of the images and animations that I used were found on Google Images<\/a>.\u00a0 I was careful to select images and animations that were free to use, with no copyright restrictions.<\/p>\n

Technologies required<\/h3>\n

In order to download images and animations, a connection to the Internet is required.\u00a0 Using your web browser, images and animations can be downloaded to the hard-drive of your computer, at which point you can upload them to the “files” folder of your LMS course site, in my case, moodle.<\/p>\n

Estimated time to create and prep<\/h3>\n

Downloading the actual images and\/or animations is very quick, and easy.\u00a0 The bulk of my time was spent searching for images that could be used freely without copyright restrictions.\u00a0 I estimate 30-60 minutes for finding approximately 10 images for my LMS course site.<\/p>\n

Associated costs<\/h3>\n

Once you have a computer and Internet connection, the cost is ZERO.<\/p>\n

B) Video<\/h2>\n

File names & Format<\/h3>\n

In my course, the video is embedded from YouTube, however, the file is in .mov format on my computer.\u00a0 My digital story, created using Tikatok has been embedded directly into my LMS site.\u00a0 The digital story itself is hosted on the Tikatok site and the file format is flash (.swf).\u00a0 Tikatok allows you to create stories using flash animation.<\/p>\n

Purpose<\/h3>\n

The purpose of incorporating the Space Video<\/a> into my LMS course site is to complement many of the other activities.\u00a0 The text of the video is the same text that students are asked to read and listen to in the literacy centre activities.\u00a0 They are then asked to work with that text utilizing the SMART Board and the markers.\u00a0 The video would assist students with this activity as well as their overall comprehension, which ultimately would prepare them for the quiz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The purpose of incorporating the Digital Story<\/a> into my LMS course site is to use it as a reading comprehension activity.\u00a0 The students will read the story either on their own or with me, as a class.\u00a0 They will then answer the reading comprehension questions in the discussion forum<\/a>.\u00a0 Using the digital story is a positive way to engage students with the images and hook them into the story rather than just reading text.<\/p>\n

Source & Copyright clearance requirements<\/h3>\n

I created the Space Video 2 years ago with my grade one students.\u00a0 We created all of the images through various art projects of the elements of the solar system.\u00a0 The art projects were photographed and uploaded to iPhoto<\/a>.\u00a0 From there, we used iMovie<\/a> to create the movie.\u00a0 Students worked in groups of two to record the audio for each element of the solar system.\u00a0 When the project was finished, I uploaded it to YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I created the Digital Story using Tikatok<\/a>.\u00a0 All of the images in my story were found on Creative Commons<\/a>.\u00a0 Creative Commons is a web site where you can find licensed works you can share, remix, or reuse.<\/p>\n
