CIS 385 Contemporary Multimedia Tools
The purpose of this course is to give students hands-on experience with finding, evaluating, using and recommending free multimedia tools (mTools) to use in a professional setting. Students will have assigned readings and discussion questions pertaining to the topic. They employ the ADDIE process of analyzing, designing, developing, implementing and evaluating to complete thorough evaluations. Evaluations will make recommendations for each tool with regard to its applications, strengths, weaknesses and tips and tricks for how to use it. Students will maintain reflective journals during the evaluation processes. Students will have peer partners who will conduct peer reviews of each evaluation. A variety of multimedia tools will be utilized as part of the class experiences as well, such as Moodle, Jing and Google sites. Students will also complete a cumulative project with a tool of their choice. At the end of the course they will have portfolios of multimedia tool evaluations, projects and writings to share with interested parties.
