Use of Multimedia in Higher Education

Long overdue...

Until I enrolled in my doctoral program, projects in college consisted primarily of writing papers and group presentations.  Now days, I am fortunate to have professors who encourage me to submit work in a variety of multimedia formats. Often, I am given project goals, criteria, lists of digital/web tools to choose from (or add to) and a due date.  That is it folks; little instruction on tool use... just the freedom to explore, experiment and encouragement to try something new.

Multimedia so much more than a paper!

If you want students to use their critical thinking skills give them choices!  Creating a blog, video, animation, etc. requires organizing, planning, synthesizing, applying information, creative thinking and risk taking.
