LTEC 5110 - Curriculum Design and Instructional Resources

What have you learned in the course about designing instruction from a multimedia perspective? We have reached the end of this summer class and I am relieved.  This class was loaded with content and assignments and from week one, I knew I would have to organize my time well to make sure I kept up with the workload.  I have learned a lot from this class.  It has so far been the one class that has introduced me to designing instruction sets.  Although this class had so many parts to the project and we used multiple media programs, I am glad is done and my projects are complete.  I have learned a lot of theory as well as multiple applications.  The biggest lesson I take from this class is to stick with the project, even if it seems daunting and to be proud of the work I have produced.  From the readings I learned that sometimes using too many media applications to teach a topic can be redundant and overload the learner.  As Clark (1983) sug...

For this week’s assignment, we were asked to combine all our previous instructional sets into a multimedia set, as a single web page.  In this web page, we were to include audio, video, images, and text instructions as a single form.  The most challenging part of this last project was deciding what to include, which format to use without making the instructions redundant or overload the learner.  Overload of content is something that Lang (1995) warned us about as he described the limited-capacity of information processing that humans have. What have you learned thus far about designing instruction? I have learned a lot from this project.  I learned to use programs I had not used before and although I am not an expert at any of them, I’m glad I got introduced to them and I hope to use them in the near future.  I learned that different students learn with different types of instructions and if I take anything out of this class, is this.  I also learned t...
