  1. Multimedia Teaching and Learning Compiled by: By GeofreyKalumuna

  2. Learning is a process in which four components interact: • The teacher • The student • Curriculum content and goals • Instructional materials and infrastructure Therefore, • Teachers – materials – learners – teachers • ICT in education is much needed vehicle of achieving the modern philosophy of education whereby a student can decide on: • What he/she learns • When he/she learns • Where he/she learns and • How he/she learns

  3. Technology and change “Technology will not have a significant impact on student learning until teachers change the way they teach” Larry Cuban, 1986 • Technology is continuously changing. It is an ongoing process. It demands continual learning • But change is not always easy. Initial human reaction to change is resistance. Resistance makes for slow change • Change is inevitable • Change led to progress. The acceptance of change is a major requirement for technology intergration • Technology is revolutionalizing the way we think, work, and play • Technology enables teachers to provide multiple representations of content (images, graphs, diagram, tables) and mutltiple options for expression (multimedia, powerpoint) • Computer technology changes traditional classroom to instructional techniques • Computers enable students to process information via multiple intelligencies

  4. Please note!!! • Technology helps change the student/teacher roles and relationships • Technology cannot teach; only teachers can teach • Technology can enhance teaching-learning process

  5. Technology integration is the use of technology resources: • Computers, internet, email, digital cameras, CD-ROMs, DVD ROMs, software applications, electronic publications and resources, etc in daily classroom practises, and in the management of a schools and college

  6. How to use information technologies effectively? • Using computer based services to search for and find relevant information in a range of contexts • Using a variety of media to retrieveinformation • Decoding information in variety of forms-written, statistical and graphic

  7. Information literacy • Using computer based service to write, analyse, present and communicate information • Using information technologies to create, to share and to store knowledge

  8. Information and Communication Technology • Information Technology (IT) is defined as the study or use of electronic equipments, especially computers for storing, analysing and sending out information • Communication technology is the process of sending, receiving and exchanging information • Therefore, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is a generic term referring to technologies, which are being used for collecting, storing, editing and passing on information in various forms (SER, 1997)

  9. ICT literacy • ICT literacy basically involves using digital technology, communication tools and/or access, manage, integrate, evaluate and create information in order to function in knowledge society.

  10. Instructional computing • Instructional Computing consists of IT tools, methods and services • It allows school to improve their teaching • It provide an enhancing learning environment for students

  11. Instructional IT • Improved/expanded school-student communications e.g. e-mail, on-line chartrooms, virtual class hours • Improved instructional logistics and communications e.g. e-syllabus, on-line submission of assignment, online testing • Expanded and improved classrooms and laboratory instructional methods – eg simulations, visualization applications • Use of alternative learning delivery mechanisms e.g satellite, video, cable, internet • Access to electronic material e.g. digital library, multimedia • The IT infrastructure needed to support the above use- e.g. www, file servers, news servers, courseware acquisition and distribution • Wired classroom with audio/visual equipment and computer projection and instructional laboratories

  12. ICT poses new challenges to educators • The teachers have to learn how to use the variety of ICT applications; • The teachers have to use, adapt and design ICT –enhanced curricula; • They have to expand the content area of knowledge; • They have to take new roles; and • They have to respond to individual students

  13. New roles of teachers in ICT environment • Learning facilitator • Collaborator • Trainer • Advisor • Knowledge manager • Curriculum designer • Instructional designer • Team coordinator • Co-learner • Assessment specialist

  14. New learning resources Traditional medium (Not new/old but still used) • Lecturers • Books ICT Medium • Computers • Multimedia • Internet • Lecturers • Books ICT tools • Multimedia PC, laptop, notebook • CDs and DVDs. Digita video, still camera • Internet and its tools- email, browsers, websites, search engines, chat etc • Computer aided instruction and computer mediated conferenceing, video/audio conference • Digital libraries, e-books and electronic publications • Interactive TVs • Microsoft publishing-news letter, poster brochure

  15. Advantages of ICT • Resources sharing • Wide variety of services • Flexibility • Reliability • Faster speed • Cheaper cost

  16. Digital techniques in education • Word processing – documents, notes, projects, assignment • Spreadsheet programming-records, exam scores • Databases- information storage • Graphic software – to prepare teaching-learning resources • Developing multimedia kits- to make process interesting • Using internet and email facilities-to gain knowledge • Games and simulations-to improve quality of leaning

  17. ICT influence in learning • Helps to provide interactive learning experiences • Students are stimulated and motivated by the technology • Students have comfortable learning • Visualization aids in the understanding of difficult concepts and processes • Caters to different learning styles • Helps students to gain valuable computer skills • Aids in collaboration and group work

  18. ICT influence on teaching • Transforms teaching and helps teachers to be more efficient and effective • Aids in the organisation and structure of the course and the course materials • Provides innovative ways to help students learn the basic concepts and skills • Aids in the provision of interesting and creative presentations of content

  19. Computer • Computer is a creativity machine • Computer is a information processing tool • Computer is a teaching aid

  20. Computer technology • Computers provide an opportunity to enhance the way students think about, manage, process and use information • The use of computers helps us see patterns and relationships in the data that we collect and work with • Students can learn the material at their own time and pace • Computer based learning appeals to a variety of cognitive strengths and learning styles

  21. World Wide Web (WWW) • A system that allows access to information sites all over the world • Information is presented in text, audio and video files • Resources such as lecture notes, reading tutorials and assignments can be delivered to, and received from, students both on and off campus

  22. Internet • The internet consists of a vast collection of independent computers linked by national and international tele-communication networks • Each internet site contains information (text, images, audio, video, links etc) which are accessible to the individual working from their home computer

  23. Hypertext tools • Hypertext consist of a complex webs of interrelated ideas/documents • The linking of information together by highlighted key words that have been marked up creating paths through related material from sources

  24. Hypermedia tools • An approach to information storage and retrieval that provides multiple linkages among elements • It allows the learner to navigate easily from one piece of information to another • It is the storage and retrieval of text, images, audio and video files

  25. Hyperlink • A connection among documents in a hypermedia or hypertext format

  26. Power point presentation • It provides a platform for incorporating a variety of different kinds of multi-media files types: images, video, audio and animations • It is neat and clean and it allows for portability of materials • It is easy for professors to update, saving them time and energy

  27. Interactive video • A typical system consists of a combination of a compact disc, computer and video technology • The interactive video refers broadly to software that responds to certain choices and commands by the user • Videodisc systems store video pictures, still pictures, and sound on discs tht users can control with a videodisc player • These systems can provide the interactive capabilities of computers and the motion-picture capabilities of videos

  28. Video conferencing • Video conferencing is a medium where individuals or groups can meet face to face in real time to interact and exchange ideas • Video conferencing began in the mid 1980’s as compressed video • Since it was introduced, communication technologies have improved exponentially
