1. Best Practices
For Using Multimedia in the Classroom

2. Multimedia content should be engaging.

3. Multimedia content should be interactive
and controlled by the learner.

4. Multimedia content should always be aligned to learning objectives.
Never use technology simply for the sake of using technology.

5. Multimedia content should use both
auditory and visual
channels to present information.

6. Make sure that the multimedia content you are
including is as accessible as possible.
For example, if you include a video or audio
clip, make sure to include captioning and/or a
written transcript.

7. How do we apply
this to real life?
Learners should be required to apply new information
acquired by multimedia to real world situations.

8. Learners should be given
the opportunity to use/create
multimedia in the process of
constructing knowledge.
