MULTIMEDIA PROJECT
Workshop participants will be assigned to groups of four.

Each group will be charged with constructing and designing a ninety-minute multimedia mathematics lesson on a wiki.

Each member will contribute a multimedia activity (concept maps, audio/video, etc.) that fulfills one of the four project activity modules, that is, a ‘Do Now’ pre-activity, an introductory presentation activity, a skill building activity, and an authentic assessment activity.

One participant in each group will set up a wiki, give it a name, and invite the instructor and the other group members using the individuals' email addresses (see tutorial). All group members will be involved in the experience by following along.

Once the wiki home page is set up, the group will decide on the lesson content and assignment of group member multimedia activity modules.

Each group member, including the original organizer, will set up their own page within the wiki. Each page will include the individual member’s first name and the activity module they will be constructing within that page, e.g. John – Do Now.

All project wikis will include a lesson plan page and a page for the rubric that will be used to measure the authentic assessment activity.

The finished project will be presented to the workshop participants for peer-review according to the workshop rubric prescribed herein (see Rubric Page).

The finished product will demonstrate knowledge and application of multimedia learning theory, instructional principles, and educational technology.
