Multimedia Integration

in Education
 Media Integration in Education is a three-unit which
focuses on the use of multimedia in education. In particular,
it describes the role of teachers and students, and the
potential impetus of multimedia on students’ learning,
motivation, cooperation, etc.
It aims at boosting educators’ motivation and skills in
applying multimedia into educational settings and adapting
the content of the course into current educational practices.
The students are expected to be able to use and apply the
acquired knowledge and competencies in his or her school
situation.
At the end of the course students should be able to develop a
deep knowledge and high competencies regarding:
1. Why, where and how multimedia can be used in school
educational settings;
2. Pedagogical scenarios concerning the mainstream and future
use of educational multimedia;
3. Important learning and teaching aspects, in particular,
teachers’ roles, students’ learning strategies,
social/collaborative learning, ICT literacy, metacognition,
and motivation;
4. Present educational goals and how educational multimedia
can support these goals;
5. Critical and reflective selection and the use of educational
multimedia according to mainstream scenarios for multimedia in
education;
6. Evaluation methods related to the educational use of
multimedia
Multimedia Integration
in Education
 Currently, students are encouraged to use
a growing number of multimedia products in
a number of different ways.
In educational settings, multimedia products and
online services serve as a means of
communication and expressive tool in various
pedagogical scenarios.
The different ways in which students deal with
multimedia are categorized – according to a scenario
model – into four pedagogical scenarios (Andresen, 1999):
1. The use of multimedia linear educational sources;
2. The use of multimedia hypertext-based materials;
3. The use of multimedia supervising products;
4. The use of multimedia productive tools and
ingredients.
 The four scenarios cover widely used multimedia
genres in educational settings that diff er with respect to
the role of students and teachers, as well as to the
function of multimedia products and online services.
Many mainstream approaches are similar to one of
the scenarios or consist of a mixture of these. It does not
mean, however, that the common multimedia
pedagogical practices are considered limited to these
four approaches.
 The concept of multimedia is defined in many
ways. Most of the definitions agree on the
characteristic that multimedia contains texts,
graphics, animations, video and sound in an
integrated way and the content can be structured
and presented differently.
