PART ONE Media, Technology & Learning

Types of Instructional Media Text, Image & Audio

The Human Ear Text (words, numbers, signs, symbols, equations, etc.) The ear consists of three basic parts the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. Each part of the ear serves a specific purpose in the task of detecting and interpreting sound. ……………………………… ………………………………

The Human Ear Image (drawing, graph, photo, map, etc.)

The Human Ear Audio (human voice, sound effects, etc.) The human ear consists of ...

Multimedia End of this point A transmission that combine different media of communication ( text , graphics , audio, animation, video, etc. )

2. Message Design Communication Process - Sender - Message (to carry the content) - Medium (to carry the message) - Receiver - Domain

Communication Process

Media & Experience Dale’s Cone of Experience

Dale’s Cone of Experience

Upper levels:

provide more information,

compress information,

faster for those able to process it,

need more instructional support.

Lower levels:

involve the learner as a participant,

encourage active learning,

provide less information,

more stimuli and richer

Dale’s Cone of Experience

3. Media & Technology Attributes - Interactivity - Branching - Realism - Bandwidth

Interaction Exchange of information, ideas, opinions between and among learners and teachers. Usually occurring through technology with the aim of facilitating learning .

Types of Interaction - Learner-teacher - Learner-learner - Learner-content - Learner-machine

Time of Interaction - Synchronous (time-dependent) - Asynchronous (time-independent)

Technology-Mediated Interaction Traditional Media Two-way Media

Branching Indexed design Sequencing design Exploration design

Level of Use - Informational - Supplemental - Communal - Essential - Immersive

PART TWO Instructional Design & Media

Instructional Design

For whom is the programme being developed?

What do you want the learners to learn?

How is the subject content or skill best learned?

How do you determine the extent to which the learning has been achieved?

The structure of an environment to provide learners with conditions that support learning.
