MIT 511 - Multimedia Design and Development (Fall 2009)
Focus on systems, communication, aesthetic and learning theories applicable to designing instructional products. Provides an overview of multimedia strategies and tactics using multimedia and instructional communication. Each student will demonstrate basic proficiencies across a wide spectrum of multimedia. Emphasis will be on visual, audio and typographic design as well as the appropriateness of these solutions for specific instructional goals. The use of advanced electronic technologies will also be emphasized.
The research base for the course exists in cognitive learning theory, perception, motivation, color principles, communication, usability, multimedia learning principles and instructional design applicable to designing multimedia instructional products. The course provides an overview of multimedia learning principles and development strategies. Students will learn to specify requirements, design, develop, and evaluate multimedia applications.
In this course, each student will demonstrate basic proficiencies across a wide spectrum of multimedia including Adobe Indesign/MicrosoftPublisher, Adobe Captivate, Adobe Photoshop/Fireworks, and Adobe Dreamweaver. Emphasis will be on visual, audio and typographic design as well as the appropriateness of these solutions for specific instructional goals. Students will develop an in-depth understanding of contemporary theories of multimedia development culminating in a personalized theoretical basis for use and development of multimedia products.
