Instructional Technology Resource Center at UMPI

The instructional technology resource center at UMPI is to provide instructional materials and support services to faculty members with respect to the integration of technology into teaching.

Multimedia in the Classroom:

As technology advances and hardware and software improves, it becomes much more feasible to integrate multimedia directly into classroom activities and the core curriculum. Understanding why, when, and where multimedia is appropriate and beneficial is the first step toward successful implementation.

The process of integrating technology into course projects:

  • Determine the standards, learning outcomes, and assessment measures.
  • Design the course projects/multimedia activity.
  • Identify activities and outcomes related to content, collaboration, communication, creative thinking, and critical thinking.
  • Create rubrics for evaluation. Identify appropriate reflective elements.
  • Summative Evaluation: students should note what they learned, and teachers should note aspects of the lesson that may require revisions for the future.
  • NOTE: Reflection and evaluation are important throughout the planning, design, and development of a multimedia activity.
