Engaging Students with Technology and Multimedia Design
The use of educational technologies and multimedia can help to engage learners, encourage active learning, improve interactions and make course communications more effective. Explore the resource pages below for additional information on how educational media and technologies can be used to promote learning.
Multimedia
Multimedia is communication that combines multiple forms of media, such as text, images, or audio. Along with cognitive and affective engagement, multimedia use has been proven to improve learning effectiveness.
