MULTIMEDIA LESSONS

According to Mayer (2001), “People learn better from words and pictures than from words alone” Building multimedia lessons in ways that are compatible with the human learning process can be challenging, especially if the designer doesn’t understand how the human mind learns.  

This is a research paper examining various multimedia principles that should be used when creating effective multimedia lessons.   ​

DISTANCE ED. TIMELINE

Distance education is a field with a long evolving history. As noted in our text,” the concepts that form the basis of this type of education are more than a century old.” 

This distance education timeline was created using PowerPoint to display significant events as well as the developments of hardware and software relevant to distance education. ​

INSTITUTION COMPARISON OF DISTANCE EDUCATION 

Schlosser & Simonson (2009), define distance education as, “institution based, formal education where the learning group is separated, and where interactive telecommunications systems are used to connect learners, resources, and instructors.”  Additionally, Simonson, et al (2009) contend that an online course is one where majority of the content is delivered online, which means at least 80% of the course content is presented online.  

This particular project explores the course offerings currently available in the online settings at 5 different learning institutions.  The idea here is to compare and learn how different universities are handling online courses.  ​
