EDTC 6323 Multimedia/Hypermedia

Interactive Learning Object

Project Description
The project for EDTC 6323 was to design and develop an online interactive multimedia
lesson to address an instructional need. The project was divided into 3 parts: Part 1
Design Document, Part 2 The Multimedia Object, and Part 3 Summative Evaluation.
The design document was created as a plan to follow while creating my multimedia
lesson on Fingerprint Analysis. Part 2 was the actual Multimedia Learning Object which
was a website created on Weebly.com. The website used a variety of multimedia objects
such as narrated videos of PowerPoint Presentations created using Screencast-omatic.com, embedded review games from Zondle.com, and online quizzes using Google
forms. Part 3 was a Summative Evaluation Report, which assisted in making
modifications based on feedback from subject matter experts (SMEs).
Standards Met
This project demonstrates proficiencies in the following AECT standards: Standard 1
Content Knowledge, Standard 2 Content Pedagogy, and Standard 3 Learning
Environments. The chart below illustrates the performances that fulfill the AECT
