Technology skills and the application of ideas

Abstract

The focus of this project is to determine what questions need to be asked in developing the philosophy of multimedia education. Multimedia is a new pedagogy and is a hybrid of design, communication and computer science. While the current curriculum is derived from these disciplines, an understanding of multimedia's potential is essential in developing further curriculum. The project is produced on DVD-ROM and allows the viewer to choose from four key areas: my identity as a instructor in the Multimedia Production program at Lethbridge Community College; the assumptions that people generally have about multimedia; the expectations of my administration, my colleagues and my students; and the possibilities that lie in curriculum development.
