Authorship of Multimedia for Learning
Artifact One: Server Training 2.0
Description: In Introduction to Multimedia Instruction, we were tasked with "teaching someone something," through multimedia. Consistent with my interest in workplace learning, I researched and developed an instructional design for restaurant servers to hone their skills.
Rationale for Inclusion: This asynchronous, self-guided microlearning module conveys my competence in interactive media compositions for learning. The course is entirely housed in a web site with free hosting. The course engages the learners through images, galleries, text, and custom videos. The artifact aligns with AECT standard 1, Content Knowledge, because it conveys my experience applying appropriate technology to improve learning and performance outcomes.
Artifact Two: Upping the Conflict
Description: I created this animated video in PowToon for Instructional Media Development. The video is designed as the second video for incorporation in a module about Conflict and Motivation for fiction writers.
Rationale for Inclusion: This video conveys my ability to use multimedia in learning design to grab attention and address needs in engaging ways. In fiction writing, authors often fail to connect with their readers due to their character's lack of conflict and motivation. I designed this learning approach, wrote the script, designed the video, and edited the sound and video. While this may appear to be a cartoon to some, to fiction writers, it is a visual for clear communication of an authentic real-world problem. The artifact aligns with AECT Standard 1, Content Knowledge, because it conveys my experience applying appropriate technology to improve learning and performance outcomes.
