An in-depth, hands-on experience with multimedia technology and the power it brings to student learning. Educators will discover how multimedia tools enhance project-based learning and authentic assessment while: (1) producing a multimedia presentation based on an integrated curriculum theme; (2) using computers, information technology and telecommunications for powerful teaching and assessment of student work; and (3) creating a project through teamwork with new stechnologies. As educators explore the significance of student-centered learning and teacher as coach, they will see how these new paradigms for teaching connect to their classrooms and schools.

Policies
Attendance:
As this is a blended course, much of the work will be done online and in collaboration with your colleagues. However we will have a number of face to face meetings in order to provide lab and presentation time for some of the more involved aspects of our curriculum.
Normal time and space rules do not always apply to online coursework. However, there are a number of best practices that can serve to guide our online behavior.
- Check in daily to see what others have posted and to check for new materials. We will be discussing RSS and subscriptions in order to facilitate timely automatic notification processes.
- Your presence is often felt in the form of your comments to blog postings or your replies to discussion posts. Sincere and thoughtful posts are considered and valued in the absence of face-to-face (F2F) communication.
- Timing is everything. A true collaborative approach values the time of your colleagues. It is best to avoid waiting until the last minute to post comments, responses or your own reflective pieces to give time for conversation to develop.
These three guidelines will help to form the basis for assessing your virtual attendance grade.
Academic Integrity:
It is expected, as in all academic endeavours, that the work presented by the learner is their own original material and that the use of any work belonging to others is cited appropriately. For purposes of copyright, all materials found online are to be considered the intellectual property of their respective author(s). This includes not only text, but audio, video and other web-based media. Even derivative work is protected by copyright unless permission has been obtained either in writing or through the author's implementation of a Creative Commons license.
Course Goals & Objectives
At the end of this course, the learner should be able to:
- Define multimedia in current terms
- Identify appropriate applications of multimedia in their own praxis
- Create a multimedia presentation based on an integrated curriculum theme
- Identify and employ appropriate ICT for teaching
- Identify and employ appropriate ICT for assessment
- Co-create a presentation using socio-collaborative tools
- Connect tools to their praxis
Assessments
Personal Reflection (15%) - Learners will be expected to synthesize and refine their learning in a number of reflection postings on their blog. Original posts are due by midnight Friday of each week.
Class Discussion & Community Feedback (15%) - Learners will be expected to synthesize and refine their learning in a number of discussion responses to classmates' blogs posts. These are due by midnight Sunday evening of each week.
