Module+2




 * Begin Development **
 * 1) How will you include Mayer’s principle of active processing in your authentic assessment activity? **I will include a clear description of how the information is presented to participants and ways they can access the information if they are not familiar with the various methods employed. I will provide steps on how the participants can organize the information so that it is easy to access later and is easy to understand when instruction is not available.** What kind of product will your participants create to demonstrate their learning using multimedia technology? **The participants will be creating a resume in three very distinct styles.**
 * 2) What kind of multimedia presentation must you create to effectively present key concepts and skills to your participants (video, PowerPoint, podcast, screencast, interactive tutorial, or other)? **I must create several different multimedia presentations to effectively present key concepts and skills. These multimedia presentations will include an interactive tutorial as well as a video and a screencast.** How will you include Mayer’s principles of dual coding and limited capacity in your presentation? **The use of various multimedia presentations will address Mayer’s principle of dual coding through visual cues and narrated audio. Participants will also be able to print out tip sheets. I will address Mayer’s limited capacity theory by limiting the amount of information presented with each multimedia presentation.**
 * 3) What kind of graphic organizer would be best to give your participants to help facilitate learning in your workshop? **I plan on using a nested graphic organizer to help participants increase their self-confidence! The use of a process organizer is not necessary as the three styles of resumes are so very different. It is more important to bolster the self-efficacy of the participants so that they are willing to try new things to secure employment.**
 * 4) What concepts in your presentation will require pre-training before you begin the workshop? **The use of Microsoft Word 2010 will require pre-training as many participants may not be familiar with the new features that are available.** How will you use multimedia to engage your learners during the pre-training phase? **The use of video training tutorials as well as an overview of Microsoft Word will provide the background participants need to be successful in resume writing.**
 * 5) What equipment will you need to conduct your workshop (projector, laptops for each pair of participants, Internet connections, other)? **Ideally the workshop should be completed in a classroom but this particular workshop could be deployed in an online environment. Laptops or desk tops will be needed for each participant as well as internet connection and Microsoft Word 2010.**
 * 6) What online applications might you use? **The use of youtube.com, wikis and even blogs may be employed. Local newspapers would be accessed along with internet job listings from search engines such as Monster.com as well as resume sample websites.**
 * 7) How will your participants collaborate on their projects? **Collaboration will be through online discussion boards, wikis and blogs.** How will you group them to create authentic assessment in your workshop**? I would group them in similar fields of employment.**
