1. Reflections on Multimedia Design and Technology
My first Blog, Reflections on Multimedia Design and Technology was very informative and provided me with a deeper understanding of the benefits of multimedia in regards to instructional design. The Blog addressed some of the misconception of multimedia that its common use as cool interactivity tool or game is far from the total picture of the benefits of its intended value. The Blog outlines that multimedia actually falls in line with cognitive learning theory and understanding these principals will help you to understand why some presentation medias work with your lessons and others don’t have the desired outcome you intended. The Blog’s main point is that multimedia is a very useful tool and when understood and used properly can improves the effectiveness of your presentation as she puts it creating a “robust learning opportunities”.
I think this site will be very helpful as a resource ongoing because of her insight into multimedia, I would be able to join in her blog asking questions and get her opinions on different perceptive of out of the box techniques used by multimedia’s.
2. Anne Cauley’s Blog: When They Won’t Give an INCH: What Trainers Need to Understand about Culture Change
My second Blog, When They Won’t Give an INCH: What Trainers Need to Understand about Culture Change was very informative as well, it provide me with some more information as to why change is hard to accomplish, as she titled “The Stubborn May Sabotage”, the Blog goes into more detail as to why change fails due to the level of the desire to change. Even though the Blog is mainly addressing “Trainers”, I felt it had some relevance to instructional designers in that, if we design something different then our customers are use to seeing their may be resistant from them. This Blog would be useful ongoing if this accurse because we (agents of change) are pieces of the bigger picture of change.
3. Pathway to Personal Learning
My third Blog, Pathway to Personal Learning provides an overview of a former or a current instructional design student’s discovery of the different learning theories and how she/he applies these theories to her/his own learning styles; continuing to a Blog regarding her/his reflection of the whole experience, identifying what she/he has learned. This Blog provided me with some clarification; helping me to put things in perspective as to what each learning theory broken down means to me. This Blog was well written and would be very helpful as a resource ongoing to help me with questions regarding learning theories applications.
