Module 4 - Implementing Instructional Strategies **Elvis' Example of Foundations of Photography: Composition From [|Lynda.com] ** [] Analysis: Examine the course you selected for Module 1. How did this course use multimedia to implement their instructional strategies? Did this course avoid irrelevant multimedia? Did this course use multimedia to effectively implement instructional events? Did this course use multimedia to indicate the format of the materials; to provide efficient navigation; and to provide for learner interaction with the content and instructional events?

Since my course is an online tutorials, I thought it did an excellent job in cooperating multimedia to implement their instructional strategies. I want to refer back to our readings, this course has captioning feature to support different types of leaner to learn on his/her own pace. However, I think it would be nicer if the speaker could show a little bit more visual pictures related to every topic to support his point of view instead of just showing his own face. They should use audio to elaborate graphics rather than on-screen text, and use graphics when properties can be visualized. Like in the readings, this course use "tell information" which keeps the display simple and well organized while providing the learners with the information they need to learn form the content. I think this course avoid using irrelevant multimedia. However, I want to refer it back to our readings again; learning is promoted only when instructional events are interactive.I think it would be nice to have learner to learner interaction. This course did not have any type of peer-collaboration, peer-critique or peer- sharing element. It is unlikely that the course you selected used a structural framework but if it did was it used effectively? If it did not can you suggest a structural framework that could be added to this course to enhance learning? I think this course did not provide a good structural framework, because by definition the learner should be able to learn from previos concepts and use them to adapt an existing mental model or to build a new mental model for the new content. This course's progression by different aspects which related to the fundamental photography like lighting, composition, background, and so forth. Although the structural framework doesn't really seem to be clear to me but I was able to recognize different scenarios which represent different question that got brought up by the instructor, and every question can be modified to enable learners to incorporate the new photography knowledge to their existing knowledge. This course does give out good metaphor and analogy to the learners in different episode, and I think all theses metaphor and analogy are good because the learners can relate the relationships in a very similar way. If I were about to change the structural framework I would have made this course to be a problem-centered structure first, so I would be able to guide the learners to merge those skills while going through different topics. I like how Dr. Merrill said this course should use vertical problem based strategy to teach the learners,so that way instead of talking about the same topic from the simplest concept to the most complex aspect, we should categorized them from the different simplest concepts to the most complicated concepts.
