9.0 Module Overview: Multimedia

Multimedia: How can I make it, find it, and use it in my online course?

Video, audio, and images are important to include in an online course to provide alternative means of communication for students who may have reading difficulties or simply learn easier through visual and auditory channels. Media you create also provides an additional channel for teaching presence and reinforces you are a human being and not just a name on a screen.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this module we hope you will be able to:

• evaluate third-party video for engagement and applicability,
• weigh the pros and cons of creating your own videos and if you choose, make an engaging, reusable video, and
