Multimedia learning environment (Canva)
1.
- First of all, the multimedia learning environment starts with the front page which
reveals the topic towards the student. The topic selected to be applied in this
multimedia learning environment platform is ‘Amazing animal’ from year 4
- In the google form, the students are required to fill out the information needed
such as their full names, classes and also their ambition. By applying this, the
teacher can get to know the students a little bit before entering the class.
3.
- After filling out the form, the students can watch a teaser video which explains about the
topics that are going to be learnt during the session. By analysing the content of the
video, the students may be able to comprehend the topic more effectively and become
more prepared.
4.
- Moving on, after watching the video, the students can go to the next page where they
are able to choose their favourite animal based on their preferences. For example, they
can choose between a tiger, an elephant, a bull and also a rhinoceros. When they are
done choosing their favourite animal, they can click onto , or , or , or
thus directing them towards the interactive videos for the respective animals.
5.
- Each of the videos here stands for different animals according to the choice of the
students. These videos will summarise every characteristic of the above animals so that
the students can acquire some knowledge before starting the class.
6.
- In the next page, it features a mini game in which the students can interact with by
clicking the button . This button will lead them to play a guessing game where
they need to guess which animals represent certain characteristics.
7.
- In this activity, the students are required to answer some questions in the video which
are related with the traits and species of certain animals and they need to guess the
correct answer.
- They are given five seconds to brainstorm their ideas and answers will be given directly
after each question.
8.
- In this page, the students are given the experience as if they get to play a video game
where the main character enters a magical portal with his companion. By clicking onto
the portal , they will get to the presentation slides with narration which explain
about the habitats of wild animals.
9.
- In these presentation slides, they will get to learn about the habitats of wild animals. This
is because different species of animals have different habitats and these slides will help
them to remember it correctly along with a good narration.
10.
- In the next page, they are going to experience a gaming feature where they are allowed
to go back to the main menu. In this case, the students have their own camp in the video
game in order to recharge their energies. By clicking on the camp button, , it will
lead to the next page.
11.
- In the camp, there are three magic items to be chosen
- The first item will lead to a poster.
- In this page, the students have completed the whole course in the multimedia
learning environment.
PEDAGOGICAL KNOWLEDGE
Pedagogical knowledge (PK) refers to teachers' in-depth familiarity with the procedures and
techniques used in teaching and learning. This multimedia learning environment applies the
pedagogical knowledge when it allows students to improve their knowledge from time to time.
For example, one of the techniques used in teaching and learning (TnL) is Scaffolding.
Scaffolding means that the teacher provides support towards the students until they are able to
become more independent in their learning and will be able to proceed to the next level on their
own. This activity applies Scaffolding when it introduces the students with direct information
about animals in the beginning phase. This is shown when they are exposed to the teaser video
about animals when they have zero knowledge about animals. Then, they are exposed to a lot
of interactive videos which provide further information regarding animals. During this phase,
they have gained a bit of knowledge about animals and they need to explore deeper. Next, they
are presented to slides with narration that explain about the habitats of animals. At this stage,
they already acquire most of the information and are ready to be tested. At the end of the
activity, they are being tested via quizzes to test their understanding about topic 8 ’Amazing
animals’. This shows how it guides them from having zero knowledge about animals to being
able to answer quizzes about animals on their own.
PEDAGOGICAL CONTENT KNOWLEDGE
Pedagogical content knowledge is about the application of instructional methods in teaching to
teach specific content of the subject. In this case, the specific topic that is going to be taught to
the student is Year 4 topic 8 (Amazing animal). For example, the multimedia learning
environment applies the technique of scaffolding where the students are being guided step-by-
step until they are able to learn on their own. From the activity, in the beginning of the lesson,
they are just receiving information from the materials shown as in the interactive videos and also
the presentation. Later, they progress by gaining more knowledge about the animals until they
are proficient enough. Lastly, they are being tested by requiring them to answer questions in the
quizzes. At this stage, they are able to learn on their own without any support from the teacher
thus illustrating the scaffolding process.
TECHNOLOGY KNOWLEDGE
From the research by Koehler, M. J., & Mishra, P. (2009), the notion of TK employed in the
TPACK framework is similar to that of IT fluency. In other words, technology knowledge is a
measurement on how complex technology is being utilised towards certain goals. In this case,
the multimedia learning environment implements a lot of technology when it uses a lot of digital
tools to deliver the teaching to the students. For instance, the application of Canva (An app to
edit image and video) to create many learning materials proves mastery over technology. In
canva, images cannot be turned into a video without any technology knowledge. There are also
a handful of digital applications that have to be used in order to complete this project such as
Google slides, Youtube, Google forms, Filmora, and others.
