1. Authentic Assessment Activity: The learners that are taking this workshop will ultimately create their own video announcement. Additionally, the interactive tutorial will include self-check activities and an end of tutorial multiple choice quiz to assess their knowledge of key technology and multimedia terms that were presented in the tutorial.
2. Presentation: The tutorial will be presented as an interactive workshop. The presentation will be created using PowerPoint and Captivate, which will all the users to interact with the presentation, take quizzes, and view videos all within the workshop.
3. Graphic Organizer: As the course will have a layout that has clear navigation and step-by-step instructions, and I do not believe a graphic organizer should be included to assist the learners in navigating the course; however I will be providing a downloadable graphic organizer to assist the students with the organization of their video announcement as they ready to record it.
4. Pre-Training: The pre-training activity will consist of a refresher regarding the content and purpose of an announcement as it relates to online learners. Additionally, key terms and definitions will be presented for those who may be unfamiliar or need assistance with technical jargon.
How will you include Mayer’s principle of active processing in your authentic assessment activity? What kind of product will your participants create to demonstrate their learning using multimedia technology? The learners will be able to interact with the tutorial as well as stop and start the tutorial to apply what they are learning as they go. The learners will create a video announcement using a webcam as well as complete a brief multiple choice quiz that assess their knowledge of technical terms.
What kind of multimedia presentation must you create to effectively present key concepts and skills to your participants (video, PowerPoint, podcast, screencast, interactive tutorial, or other)? How will you include Mayer’s principles of dual coding and limited capacity in your presentation? This workshop will be created in PowerPoint and Captivate. It will include graphics, text, audio, videos, screencasts and interactive self check activities to keep the learner engage and actively participating.
What kind of graphic organizer would be best to give your participants to help facilitate learning in your workshop? As the course will have a layout that has clear navigation and step-by-step instructions, and I do not believe a graphic organizer should be included to assist the learners in navigating the course; however I will be providing a downloadable graphic organizer to assist the students with the organization of their video announcement as they ready to record it.
What concepts in your presentation will require pre-training before you begin the workshop? How will you use multimedia to engage your learners during the pre-training phase? The pre-training activity will consist of a refresher regarding the content and purpose of an announcement as it relates to online learners. Additionally, key terms and definitions will be presented for those who may be unfamiliar or need assistance with technical jargon.
What equipment will you need to conduct your workshop (projector, laptops for each pair of participants, Internet connections, other)? The learners will be completing the tutorial as a self pace workshop. They will login to the Blackboard System and complete the tutorial using the Internet, They will need standard computer equipment such as a keyboard, mouse, speakers, mic and webcam. Editing equipment is optional. They will need a YouTube account.
What online applications might you use? YouTube and Blackboard ( to host the tutorial)
How will your participants collaborate on their projects? How will you group them to create authentic assessment in your workshop? The participant will be able to utilize a discussion board during the workshop to ask questions of their peers and the facilitator. They will also have the option of posting their announcement for critique.

your participants. In an Ottawa Online course, announcements are text based and posted by the instructor on a weekly basis. Some studies have shown that students in online courses tend to feel a disconnect with their instructor, since most of the materials are in written format and lack the personalized elements of a face to face course. Therefore, my training will instruct the faculty member on how to post a video based announcement in their course. The topic will be “How to record a video announcement and post it in your course”.
Population: For your workshop?
Outcomes: Adjunct faculty teaching at a bachelor/masters level online course, those who have limited technology skills.
Outcomes: What are your workshop? (YouThe learners will refine these objectives as you develop your workshop throughout the course.)
Gap:create a video announcement using their webcam and proprietary software. The learners will operate a webcam, record video, and upload weekly announcements to a learning management system.
Gap: What do the gap? The participants come into the training knowing how to post announcements and the content that should be delineated to the students on a weekly basis. However, they may lack the technological skills for recording video using their webcams and the additional skill of uploading the video in the Blackboard Learning Management System (LMS). This training will bridge the gap and allow all instructors to be tech savvy in their courses.

Topic: What will be the topic of your workshop? Select a topic that will be engaging and require the development of an authentic, problem-based project by your participants.
Population: For whom will you design your workshop?
Outcomes: What are the learning outcomes for your workshop? (You will refine these objectives as you develop your workshop throughout the course.)
Gap: What do you think your participants already know? What do you want them to learn? What is the gap?
