Multimedia Module: Introduction
Module Objectives
A multimedia classroom presentation integrates two or more of the following "media" forms to present classroom content: Video and/or sound segments, slide presentations, overhead transparencies, animations, computer demonstrations, graphics segments, animations, and, of course, the traditional lecture and print formats. Each of these media forms has its own advantages and disadvantages for promoting student learning of different types of content. The idea is to combine these tools to increase the effectiveness of a classroom presentation.
However, the transition from one form to another must be as "seamless" as possible; otherwise, the transition from one media form to another can distract the student from the content and thereby interfere with the learning process.
