EDPS 6560 - Multimedia Learing

We will be learning

1. Photoshop
2. Flash
3. iMovies (in the Mac Lab)

Why do I need these skills, and how do they help my students
We will be able to:

1. multimedia learning design principles
2. cognitive functionality of multimedia
3. repertoire of graphics techniques and their applications
4. plan for complimentary techniques in a single learning sequence and justify why you are doing what you are doing
5. describe how range of instructional technology applications can be adapted to the needs of the students
6. modify graphics and photographs
7. produce interactive learning materials such as animated learning objects
   NO TEXTBOOK! Don't have to spend the $$$$$ for a book I'm never going to use!
   
   Now we're working on Adobe photoshop, so not much more going on in here.
   
   Difference between jpg and gif
   
   jpg - rbg, red, blue, green - no transparency - also no animation - best for pictures that don't move, good photographs
   
   gif - red, blue, green and alpha - alpha allows the transparency - allows for the animation - much better fro graphic stuff,
   
   bitmap - best for printing industry, big files, but keeps more info about the pictures
   
   CMYK color - used specifically for the printing business
   
   Me, Gibb 'n Leilani will be presenting Reading 5 on July 10th.
