2. What is Project-based Learning
and Multimedia?
* A project based learning method is a
comprehensive approach to instruction.
* Project-based multimedia learning is a
method of teaching in which students
acquire new knowledge and skills in the
course of designing, planning, and producing
a multimedia product.
3. Why use Project-based Learning
Multimedia?
* PBL provides a format for implementing several very
powerful instructional principles, including
differentiating instruction, scaffolding instruction, and
facilitating socially constructed knowledge. This
approach fosters the development in students of a
sophisticated understanding of content-area subjects, as
well as sophisticated development of effective and
efficient strategies for informational-gathering and
processing, communicating, critical, analytical, and
creative thinking, collaborating, and goal setting and
self-evaluating.
4. Three key dimensions of differentiated
instruction are:
* Targeting students’ Zones of Proximal
Development (ZPD)
* Capitalizing on students’ Intellectual
Strengths and Talents
* Fostering Authentic Motivation
5. The effective use of Project-based
Multimedia Learning requires through
planning. Initial planning involves:
* Clarifying goals and objectives.
* Determining how much time is needed and
extent of students involvement in decision
making.
* Setting up forms of collaboration.
* Identifying and determining what
resources are needed.
* Deciding on the mode to measure what
students learn.
6. The various phases of the project
include:
* Before the project starts.
* Introduction of the project.
* Learning the technology.
* Preliminary research and planning.
* Concept design and storyboarding.
* First draft production.
* Assessing, testing and finalizing presentation
and concluding activities.
