We will try to do this class as paperless as possible. Therefore, all of my lessons, handouts, rubrics, etc will be online.


 * __The Course Description According to Wilkes U is:__**

=
//Design and construct lessons, tutorials and presentations for the classroom utilizing authoring software **such as** PowerPoint or Hyperstudio. Ways to incorporate multimedia will also be explored and various design methodology will be examined.//======

First of all HyperStudio went out of business several years ago. They went out of production and RogerWagner, the original author has repurchased the company to bring it back to prominence. Therefore, we will probably not be using HyperStudio there are so many new applications we can use to accomplish the same result. Recently, Hyperstudio has released a new version and are on the road to making a comeback in schools. But you probably have access to other programs at this point that will serve the same purpose. = Syllabus:  = I. demonstrate guidelines for effective multimedia development II. apply concepts of learning and communication in the development of multimedia presentations III. develop multimedia projects from concept to completion in both individual and collaborative environments IV. advocate emerging technology as a tool for critical thinking, creativity, and communication
