Manager, Visual Design Development, UT KnoxvilleDynamic instructors know that we learn most effectively when we construct or build our own knowledge. In this module you will learn the techniques required to translate a traditional paper-based classroom assignment into a multimedia-driven assignment. Today's digitally savvy students may be fluent in certain aspects of media tools, but the instructor creates the learning environment in which high standards and clear rubrics encourage students to construct their own knowledge with these tools. The module will explore a variety of digital projects that develop students' cognitive skills as well as the process of developing evaluation criteria and rubrics to help instructors assess this new digitally-based project.
