My take away on this module is that when making a multimedia material aside from integration of text, audio, video, computing and social media we should consider the cognitive objectives and learner’s level of comprehension in developing a multimedia material.
We all are aware that some learners are visual-spatial others are auditory that is why educator need to assess prior making a multimedia material. Taking for example our machine operators in the manufacturing line, they are required to take the training whenever we have a new machine. Its main objective is for the operator to know the step-by step of operating a machine and to be able to do that, SME /trainer use the computing approach to let the operator watch the tutorial in a form of text, audio and video so they can go over and watch the complicated steps several times.
Relating it to my EMM, now it’s clear to me on why Sir Ley kept on asking what is my learning objective, how to be able to get the attention of a learner, what is the format / content presentation, how it will be delivered, what is the learner’s interest and so and so forth. And as a future educator I have to keep that in mind in making a multimedia material.
Having that thought we can help students become more engaged, interactive, motivated boost their self-confidence to learn new things and become more critical thinkers to explore new things on their own which is the ultimate goal for 21st century learners in this digitalized world.
