Planning+Page


 * 1) How will you include Mayer’s principle of active processing in your authentic assessment activity? What kind of product will your participants create to demonstrate their learning using multimedia technology?

Active processing key components are; learning by attending to relevant information, organizing selected information into coherent mental representations, and integrating mental representations with other knowledge. In my presentation, I am using graphical examples that give the student a complete mental picture of how the wiki will be produced and used as a tool for accessing class information and collaboration.

2. What kind of multimedia presentation must you create to effectively present key concepts and skills to your participants (video, PowerPoint, podcast, screen cast, interactive tutorial, or other)? How will you include Mayer’s principles of dual coding and limited capacity in your presentation?

Dual Coding - Humans possess separate channels for processing visual and auditory information. Limited Capacity – Humans are limited to the amount of information that they can process in each channel at one time. My multimedia presentation will be in screen cast media. I will attempt to formulate visual and audio information simultaneously into the presentation.

3. What kind of graphic organizer would be best to give your participants to help facilitate learning in your workshop? A graphic organizer that incorporates text used with the signaling principle concept.

4. What concepts in your presentation will require pre-training before you begin the workshop? How will you use multimedia to engage your learners during the pre-training phase?

Pre-Training Principle - People learn more deeply from a multimedia message when they know the name and characteristics of main concepts. I will give students an outline that has all of the major subject matter that will be used in the workshop and also the requirements for successful completion of presentation and assessment.

5. What equipment will you need to conduct your workshop (projector, laptops for each pair of participants, Internet connections, other)?

Laptop and Projector. Students can access Study Notes online from Authors tream.com

6. What online applications might you use?

Audacity 1.3 Beta. Authorstream. Wikispaces bubl.us

7. How will your participants collaborate on their projects? How will you group them to create authentic assessment in your workshop?

After assigning groups, each group will be given instructions on how to create a wiki, invite members to collaborate, and access Study Notes or Assignments.
