Multimedia Scaffolding

On Wednesday I presented a second paper at the e-Learn Conference titled: Multimedia Scaffolding for Reading Research. The presentation is 21 minutes long. Here's a short description:

Beginning doctoral students in education often experience great difficulties in reading and understanding original research articles. This presentation will provide an example of one multimedia instructional approach intended to help students become more efficient and savvier readers of original research. The multimedia treatment is named a “research aloud.” More generally this presentation focuses on multimedia learning tools for helping students deal with very difficult conceptual material across a wide range of subject matter. The basic idea is to leverage the advantages of multimedia to scaffold student learning in a domain that is typically difficult for a defined set of learners.

If you would like to download the presentation (and short accompanying paper) you can do so by using the link below. This movie will play on your computer, but you can also play on your iPad. To put onto your iPad you'll need to download, add to your iTunes library, then sync with your iPad.
